SF Greek Film Festival Began as Fundraiser for Nonprofit That Supports SF State Center for Greek Studies

DAILY CALIFORNIAN (UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY) -- The San Francisco Greek Film Festival reigns as the first and longest-running film festival in the United States dedicated to promoting Greek film and empowering Greek and Cypriot filmmakers. The festival began as a fundraising event for the Modern Greek Studies Foundation, a nonprofit that supports the Center for Modern Greek Studies at San Francisco State University. Now, the festival will proudly celebrate its 17th anniversary this year from October 3 to 10, a remarkable feat engineered by the close-knit and determined team of volunteers who spent all year organizing the event.
