**In collaboration with Los Angeles Greek Film Festival** On May 28, we welcome Los Angeles Greek Film Festival (LAGFF) with three new films from Greece! [](https://www.lagff.org/) ### BEARCAVE (2025) Set in the Greek mountain village of Tirna, Bearcave follows Argyro, a badass farmer, and her best friend Anneta, the village “it” girl and local manicurist. Once Anneta admits that she’s pregnant and planning to leave town with her lame cop boyfriend, Argyro challenges Anneta to embark on an adventure to find the mystical bear cave. Before Argyro has a chance to confess her own love, Anneta leaves for her new life in the big city. Argyro is left broken. Meanwhile, in her new home with her clingy mother-in-law, Anneta quickly realizes her destiny lies elsewhere, Krysianna Papadakis (b. 1995 she/they) is from Crete, living in Athens, Greece. She completed her undergraduate studies in Social Studies with an emphasis on political theory and philosophy at Harvard University and a master’s degree in media, language, and performance in international politics at the University of Oxford. During these degrees, she also studied playwriting, comedy directing, and scenography and discovered a passion for writing and directing. She co-founded a theatre company in London and worked as a director and writer for theatre before pivoting to film. Since 2016, she has mentored teenagers in creative writing and social sciences, helping them deconstruct issues, construct narratives and find their voice. Her debut short film/proof of concept BEARCAVE, which she co-directed and co-wrote with Stergios Dinopoulos, won the Golden Dionysus for Best Film at the Drama International Film Festival and it’s now in the final stages of becoming a feature length debut.
