“Our relationship with Greece is at an all-time high. I think everyone will agree to that. We are, specifically in the area of film, very pleased to be working both with the Ministry of Digital Governance and with the Ministry of Culture to put American and Greek filmmakers together with each other, and also to attract American filmmakers here to Greece,” he said at the opening.
