Agora, the developmental branch of the Festival, presented Works in Progress on Saturday, November 6, at Frida Liappa theater, at the Port of Thessaloniki. Eight (8) projects participated, among which we encounter two Greek projects. Yianna Sarri, the head of the Agora, gave the floor to Orestis Andreadakis, the Artistic Director of the Thessaloniki International Film Festival, to preface the Works in Progress of Agora. Mr. Andreadakis welcomed the audience and talked about our long absence from the movie theatres. "It was a long road and a difficult time, but we are here and we are together again," he said.

On Thursday November 4th, the 62nd Thessaloniki International Film Festival opening ceremony was held in enthusiasm and optimism for the audience comeback to film theatres.

The 62nd Thessaloniki International Film Festival is returning to its home turf, the movie theaters, prioritizing safety and abiding by all health ad safety protocols, from Thursday 4 to Sunday 14, November 2021. This year’s celebration of independent cinema will take place in physical spaces, but online as well.

We are delighted to unveil the 35 full feature films, as well as the15 short films, that will be screened at the 62nd Thessaloniki Film Festival. 

With TV presenter, actor and journalist Fotis Sergoulopoulos as ambassador, along with new activities and initiatives offering support to Greek cinema, the Agora of the 62nd Thessaloniki International Film Festival (4-14/11/2021) is getting ready to welcome once again the Greek and international industry in Thessaloniki, following its successful online edition in last year’s Festival.

The Festival’s spots invite us to take a look at “the bigger picture”, urging us to rediscover the experience of watching a film in cinema’s rightful home, the movie theater.

It is our great joy to unveil the posters of the 62nd Thessaloniki International Film Festival, designed by the Greek painter and multimedia artist Konstantin Kakanias. Konstantin Kakanias is collaborating with museums and galleries all over the world, as well as with some of the top-notch names in the fashion industry, such as Christian Dior, Christian Louboutin and Yves-Saint Laurent.
