Athens Indie Film Festival
Welcome to the Athens Indie Film Festival, where the spirit of democracy meets the magic of cinema!
Inspired by the rich tapestry of Athens' storied history and its democratic legacy, our festival invites filmmakers from around the world to share their stories on our virtual stage. Just as Athens stood as a beacon of freedom and expression in ancient times, our festival embraces the diversity of voices and perspectives in contemporary filmmaking.
Whether it's a short film bursting with creativity or a feature-length masterpiece that captivates audiences, we celebrate the power of storytelling to inspire, provoke, and unite. This is an online event. Join us online as we honor the timeless values of democracy and the enduring artistry of cinema at the Athens Indie Film Festival.
