LAGFF's 12th year, was one of its most colorful editions, with a variety 
of enriching events. Celebrating legendary actor George Chakiris on
Closing Night was certainly one of the top moments; our inaugural
collaboration with UCLA Stavros Niarchos Foundation Center
for the Study of Hellenic Culture established what we hope to
be a long-term friendship and partnership; Government official
Lefteris Kretsos supported LAGFF with his presence and presented
the new Greek film law; Tassos Boulmetis' docudrama 1968 had its 
world premiere at LAGFF; Closing Night film SMUGGLING HENDRIX,
a Cypriot production, came to LAGFF fresh from Tribeca Film Festival
after winning an award there; for the second time in a row, Best Feature
Orpheus Award winner, POLYXENI, is Greece's official Oscar entry;
for the fifth year in a row, our numbers increased -- close to 3,000
 in attendance, over 8,500 FB followers, 235,000 views in Youtube
and live feeds. Stay tuned for 2019's surprises.
