Note from the 2020 SF Greek Film Festival:

  • The 2020 San Francisco Greek Film Festival (SFGFF) will take place October 3-10, with a Festival highlight of an in-person drive-in screening of Topkapi, the wonderful caper film that created the "light heist flick" genre that is copied to this day. Celebrating the Year of Melina Mercouri - Μελίνα Μερκούρη, Topkapi will show on October 4, 2020, at Par 3 at Poplar Creek in San Mateo, with tickets (tickets are $0)*
​
  • With the exception of the drive-in event, all other screenings will be online and available free of charge. ​In this time of need, the SFGFF gives back to the community that has supported it for the past 17 years, with this year’s free, virtual Festival. Tickets and details for the online screenings are online at grfilm.com and the virtual platform sfgff2020.eventive.org. ​
 
  • “During this difficult time in our world, our team felt strongly it was important to continue to celebrate the Greek and Cypriot films produced this year,” says SFGFF Director Maria Nicolacakis. “We may not be able to come together in person at the film festival, but we will bring the films to your homes.The week-long online streaming of the films, which is a first for us, will be provided free of charge as an expression of gratitude to our community that has supported us for the past 17 years.  We hope that this along with the drive-in experience, another first, will be enjoyed by all.”​

​* The Greek Culture Ministry has declared 2020 the “Year of Melina Mercouri” in commemoration of what would have been the 100th birthday of the internationally-acclaimed actress politician and culture champion. The SFGFF presents this event in honor of Melina Mercouri.

Note: the drive-in event is a ticketed event with food options for purchase.
