Returning for the ninth year, the Greek Student Film Festival offers young Greek Australians the chance to explore their Greek heritage and create a work for the big screen.

Primary and secondary students studying the Greek language are invited to take part in the event with short fiction, animations or documentaries.

Cash prizes will be awarded in the primary and secondary categories.

The student competition has traditionally been supported by the Greek Film Festival, the Greek Community of Melbourne, the Education Office of the Greek Consulate General in Melbourne, the Department of Education and Training and the Modern Greek Teachers Association of Victoria.

For more information, email greekfestival@goc.com.au or call Pamela Proestos on (02) 9750 0440.
