  DELPHI BANK 21ST GREEK FILM FESTIVAL - COMING SOON!
Melbourne will be home to over two weeks of Greek cinema with a program that handles Greek family tragedies, carefully crafted dramas and tense thrillers with a strong resilient hand. 

The Delphi Bank 21st Greek Film Festival will open with Pantelis Voulgaris’ award-winning melodrama Little England (Mikra Anglia), a period film that brings to life a bestā€selling novel of romance, betrayal and loss as penned by Voulgaris’ wife, Ioanna Karystiani. The novel Mikra Anglia (published in English as The Jasmine Island) achieved the Greek National Book Award for Literature for Karystiani’s documentation of the difficult life of seafarers’ families. Women were left to raise their children alone, while plagued with a constant anxiety that their husbands and sons may never return home.

Audiences can expect a repertoire of over twenty films in this year’s program, with cinematic master shots of the Mediterranean sea taking the fore in AT HOME, Bollywood song and dance routines in BLOCK 12, and in COMMON DENOMINATOR viewers become privy to conversations centred around online dating and infidelity, providing an insight into the worlds of three different men that are all at a loss with the women in their lives.
