Los Angeles Greek Film Festival 2025 Award Winners
The 11th Discovery Days Jury picked Katerina Mavrogeorgi’s project, ANCHORED, as the winner of this year’s feature film projects, and gave an Honorable Mention to THE SON, represented by Yorgos Athanasiou and George Zafeiropoulos. The awards were presented during the Orpheus Awards by the lab’s Director Karina Logothetis and last year’s participant Tilbe Cana Inan. This is what Logothetis said: “We were deeply moved by the work and discipline of the participants. Over the course of four days we witnessed their stories take form, their visions grow sharper, and a real sense of creative unity emerge — with filmmakers inspiring and lifting each other up throughout the process.” The jury included three industry professionals – Gareth Ellis-Unwin, Alesia Weston, Danielle Wolff – and an established Greek filmmaker – Yorgos Zois.
