description=In June 2007, filmmakers Ersi Danou and Angeliki Giannakopoulos, and joined by documentary filmmaker Avra Georgiou, introduced the first Los Angeles Greek Film Festival (LAGFF) to a community that was ready and willing to connect with Greek creators from Greece, Cyprus and around the world. For the first time ever, Los Angeles was getting long-term Greek cultural representation with the establishment of an annual event; and, for the first time, Greek filmmakers would have the opportunity to repeatedly experience the center of American and global entertainment, meet local professionals, absorb diverse perspectives, develop their projects, and get to know transatlantic fellow creatives.;
