The Greek Film Festival in Berlin is Berlin’s Greek film festival founded as Hellas Filmbox Berlin in 2015. The festival gives the German and international audience the unique chance to watch on the big screen the best of the new Greek film (and/or related with Greece).
The festival takes place every March in the heart of Berlin and the historic venue of Babylon.
