Discovery Days
Emerging or unverified festival
Discovery Days is the industry section of the Los Angeles Greek Film Festival, formerly known as the International Project Discovery Forum. It is notable for its development lab, workshops, roundtables, and jury presentations that connect emerging independent filmmakers—especially those working on feature projects tied to Southern European and Balkan countries—with industry professionals in Los Angeles. Its significance lies in serving as a bridge between European and American independent cinema and in helping promising projects advance within the film festival circuit.[1][3][5]
