NYWIFT x Hellenic Film Society Co-Present ‘Hold Onto Me’ at New York Greek Film Expo
08 Oct 2026 @ 07:00pm
Join Hellenic Film Society & NYWIFT as we proudly co-present the opening night screening of Hold Onto Me during New York Greek Film Expo 2026!
In Hold Onto Me, a plucky 11-year-old girl in Cyprus stubbornly tries to forge a connection with her long-absent, largely indifferent father. Her refusal to remain overlooked fuels her efforts to make her father fill the space in her life where a parent should be.
