We are thrilled to open with Giorgos Georgopoulos’ West Coast premiere of his new film, which received five awards at the Thessaloniki International Film Festival, including the Greek Film Critics Union award. Upbeat and youthful, PATTY IS SUCH A GIRLY NAME follows Daphne, a teenage judo athlete from a remote Greek island, who is ready to spread her wings with the help of Sensei Yuri, aiming to take part in the next Olympic Games. Yuri is looking for a new beginning as a judo coach, while Daphne transitions from the carelessness of adolescence into the hard world of adults.
Join us on May 27th, 2026, on Opening Night of the 20th edition of the Los Angeles Greek Film Festival; where we are honored to present a remembrance of one of our greatest and most respected artists in the seventh art, Dean Tavoularis.
The remembrance will precede the Opening Night film screening, and it is included in the Opening Night ticket price (individual tickets coming soon).

Daphne, a teenage judo athlete from a remote Greek island, is ready to spread her wings and follow Sensei Yuri to the big city and ultimately to the next Olympic Games. Yuri, for unknown reasons, has been absent from the world of Judo for the last few years and he is looking for a new beginning, while Daphne transitions from the carefreeness of adolescence into the hard world of adults.
Georgopoulos’ third feature-length film featured In Competition in the Youth Section of the Tallinn Black Nights International Film Festival 2025.
A beautiful coming of age sports drama that depicts along with courage, resilience and faith the unique connection between a coach and his athletes.
With Vangelis Mourikis, Mort Klonarakis, Tasos Nousias, Filippa Koutoupa
