About this event

The fifth edition of The Greek Film Festival GOES Frankfurt brings a curated selection of contemporary Greek cinema to the Eldorado cinema. Over two days you can catch five films ranging from social dramas to documentary portraits, with an opening-night Q&A with director Filippos Tsitos and a talk with filmmaker Amerissa Basta. The programme gives Greek speakers a chance to see the films in their original language, while German subtitles and the festival's bilingual introduction keep it accessible to everyone. Expect a warm, communal atmosphere that bridges cultures and invites conversation about today's Greece.
