The time has come to gear up and get ready for the 8th Greek Student Film Festival!

The Greek Student Film Festival encourages the maintenance of the Greek culture and the use of
the Greek language in creative and innovative ways.

The project in NSW is presented by the following organisations: Greek Film Festival, Greek Orthodox Community of NSW and the Education Office of the Consulate General of Greece in Sydney.

Entries will be screened during the 25th Greek Film Festival held at Palace Cinemas Norton Street in Leichhardt in mid-October 2018.

The topic for this year’s competition is: “A journey”
 
Participants are encouraged to interpret the topic as creatively as they wish. Each short film should not exceed 5mins.

This year’s signature item is a LEAF. Participants who choose to include a LEAF in their film can do so, in any way they like, whether it be a part of the main story or simply in the background of a shot.
 
Short films can be submitted in any of the following genres, but must use Greek as the main language:
1. Animation  2. Documentary  3. Fiction

The competition will be divided into two categories:
1. Primary School students  2. Secondary School students 

There will be with three prizes awarded in each category: 
1st, 2nd and 3rd.
 
Students and groups wishing to participate in this year’s competition are invited to express their interest by submitting the attached form by Monday August 20, 2018 to greekfestival@goc.com.au

Students of Greek Schools abroad can follow El Greco's route from Greece to Italy and Spain, and discover the influence of light as well as it's transformation in his work.
Then, students of all stages are asked to create a piece of art (any mode they find most appropriate i.e painting, sculpture, photography, poetry, music, literature e.t.c.) expressing the impact of El Greco's work on themselves.
The main goal is for students to be familiarised with the use of "light" in his work and realize the social and artistic influence of every country he visited.

Students can participate either individually or in groups and should be conducted within the school class and not in the form of homework. Students' work signed with their names should be submitted to the school's Principal until Friday the 9th of May 2014, and must be accompanied by their school's details (name, postal address, telepnone).
