The FilmHellenes is a not-for-profit corporation dedicated on identifying, promoting and celebrating Greek filmmaking excellence worldwide.

Our name came up as a connection to the Philhellenes of the past, notable people from all over the world - lovers of Greek culture. Philhellenism, their movement, through powerful representations of visual art and travel literature, formed an intellectual 'fashion' prominent at the turn of the 19th century, which contributed to the establishment of the Greek nation-state.

The Greek film landscape is rapidly re-defining itself, in spite of the country's challenges. A new wave of films (both art-house and mainstream) are emerging, which, we strongly sense, will have an appeal not only to the Greek community but also to a wider audience.
