The Greek America Foundation is proud to inaugurate a new project called GREEK FILM & FOTO WEEK (GFFW) that will bring together talented photographers and filmmakers of Greek descent from throughout North America for a one-week celebration of still and moving pictures. The first GFW took place in Toronto, Canada in May 2011 and featured 19 Greek North American photographers. The photo exhibition was hosted at one of Toronto’s most unique event spaces, The Burroughes, a landmark building that is leading the revival in one of that city’s most trendy neighborhoods. Details for the film component are under way.
