A LETTER FROM LAGFF CO-PRODUCER ELENI ARVANITI
EleniDear LAGFF Friends,

With LAGFF 2014 quickly approaching, we are once again kicking off our HOST A FILMMAKER campaign and seeking the generosity of host families willing to open their homes to host 1-2 filmmakers during the days of this year's festival. Is there a possibility that you or perhaps someone you know may be interested? This year's festival will be held at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, 6712 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90028, June 4 - 8, 2014.

We seek homes that are within 10 miles (or a reasonable distance) from the theater and can provide a private room (ideally with separate bath) for approximately 5-6 days (arrival/departure dates will vary) for 1-2 people. As the festival activities last all day long, the filmmaker will only be in your home to shower, change, and sleep!

We also require that any filmmakers staying in host homes will have their own transportation (rental car). Hosts are not expected
to provide any other amenities, such as meals, etc.

As Filmmaker Liaison of the festival over the last 6 years, I have had the privilege of getting to know all of our filmmakers personally. By the time they arrive in Los Angeles, I have an understanding of the artistic impulse that drives them, the challenges that they have faced, obstacles they have overcome, and risks they have taken to pursue their passion. For many of them, coming to Los Angeles is a dream - but unfortunately an economic challenge. Therefore, it gives me great satisfaction to champion their efforts on behalf of LAGFF and provide them with as much encouragement and support as possible.

I hope that your home is a good match to HOST A FILMMAKER and you find opening your home and lending your support to a filmmaker to be a worthwhile endeavor. On behalf of our filmmakers, I thank you for the kindness and support you have shown by believing in the festival and your continued support of the arts. I look forward to hearing back from you and seeing you at the festival! - Eleni Arvaniti

If you would like to participate in our HOST A FILMMAKER program, please contact Eleni at eleni@lagreekfilmfestival.org


DONATE TO OUR FILMMAKER FUND
If your home should not be a match, but you would like to support the filmmakers in another way, perhaps you would consider making a small contribution to our FILMMAKER FUND, which is collected and divided equally among all of the incoming filmmakers, helping defray their incidental expenses during their stay. However small or large their individual portion ends up to be, every little bit is always a helpful and most welcome surprise to them!When you make a donation of $10 or more, you will automatically be entered in a raffle to win an LAGFF 2014 FILM FESTIVAL GOLD PASS.

Every dollar raised will be distributed to our incoming filmmakers to help them offset their expenses for their trip to Hollywood while attending LAGFF. Visit our donation page enter the amount you would like to contribute. It's that easy. Anything you contribute will help, as no amount is too small. Thank you for your generous support!
Special thanks go to ELMA, an organization dedicated to the promotion of European Cinema in America.
 
Special thanks go to Elios Charitable Foundation for acknowledging LAGFF's cultural contribution.

We are grateful to Consul General of Cyprus Andreas Kyprianides for his continued support and tireless efforts to promote Hellenism.

We wish to express our immense gratitude to Consul General of Greece Elisabeth Fotiadou for her unending support of the arts and culture, her unique vision, contribution to the promotion of Hellenism, and her dedication to LAGFF.
