Description
Set against the breathtaking landscapes of South Pelion (Greece), this boutique international film festival offers a refined celebration of bold, contemporary cinema. Thoughtfully curated the festival showcases a selection of distinctive works by both emerging talents and internationally acclaimed auteurs.
With a focus on director-driven storytelling, the program highlights films of strong artistic vision, formal elegance, and narrative depth - works that challenge conventions and elevate the cinematic experience.
Designed as an intimate and immersive gathering, the festival creates a space where filmmakers and audiences connect in a setting of natural beauty and cultural richness. Through screenings, conversations, master classes, debates, concerts and curated encounters, it fosters meaningful dialogue, creative exchange, and a shared appreciation for cinema as an art form.
The festival, which is an institutional initiative organized by the Municipality of South Pelion (Greece), aspires to establish itself as an important festival that, on the one hand, offers networking and exposure opportunities to filmmakers and, on the other hand, provides cinematic enjoyment to the audience. During the festival, all officially selected films (both short andfeature-length) will be screened, followed by Q&A and discussions.
Directors who are unable to attend in person will have the opportunity to send a recorded greeting and say a few words about their film. In parallel, two masterclasses will take place (one on music in cinema; the topic of the second will be announced in due course), as well as a debate.
