The Hellenic Film Society (HFS) is dedicated to promoting Greek cinema throughout the United States. Our mission is to share the richness of Greek films with a wider American audience, to showcase Greek movies, and to preserve the film heritage of Greece.

The Hellenic Film Society USA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization rooted in the belief that Greek cinema should be part of the American cultural landscape. We promote feature films, documentaries, and film shorts made by Greek filmmakers and those of Greek descent, as well as films that promote the cultures of Greece and Cyprus.

Founded by Jimmy DeMetro and a team of devoted cinephiles with a long track record of bringing Greek films to the US, the Hellenic Film Society was established to expand the reach of Greek film beyond a single annual festival in New York.

In addition to our annual New York Greek Film Expo, a Greek film festival for all New Yorkers, we present Always on Sunday, a monthly Greek film series at the prestigious Museum of the Moving Image in New York City, often to sell-out crowds. We also help organize Greek film screenings in a growing number of American cities.

Our special programming includes panel discussions, master classes, and lectures by filmmakers and scholars aimed at filmmakers, film students, and the general public. Our free YouTube channel, which has had millions of views, features interviews with some of Greece’s most prominent filmmakers and actors.

We are passionate about our mission to support high-quality, well-crafted films and we look forward to presenting Greek films that entertain, inform, and inspire.
