[1][2] Syn Festival Edinburgh aims to promote ‘the cultural discourse between South and North, the Mediterranean and Great Britain’.
While it began as an Edinburgh University Hellenic Society initiative, its steering group has subsequently included people who do not come from Greece.
It has also co-operated with Edinburgh Greek Festival, hosting visual arts exhibitions that accompanied the themes of the films screened by the latter.
