Greek Film Critics Association

The Greek Film Critics Association or Pan-Hellenic Film Critics Association (Greek: Πανελλήνια Ένωση Κριτικών Κινηματογράφου, ΠΕΚΚ) was founded in 1976. The first members were the famous Greek film critics such as Nino Fenek Mikelidis, Vasilis Rafailidis, Yannis Bakogiannopoulos and others. Since 1977, the association belongs to International Federation of Film Critics (FIPRESCI).[1]
