The 28th Thessaloniki International Documentary Festival hosts a grand tribute titled “All the world’s memory”, which will run through various pillars of this year’s edition, from film screenings and open discussions all the way to the Festival’s spot and editions.
AGORA, the most active and vibrant documentary Industry Event of Southeastern Europe is returning with new synergies and awards, having consolidated its status as a meeting point and contact hub between documentary professionals from all over the world, offering support to the documentary genre throughout the different stages of production. The Agora of the 28th Thessaloniki International Documentary Festival will be held from March 8 to March 12, 2026.
The 28th TIDF will call it a wrap with the live broadcast of the OSCARS® Awards Ceremony in collaboration with the Festival’s Grand Sponsor COSMOTE TELEKOM and screening of the nominated documentary "Mr. Nobody Against Putin".
We are delighted to kick off the announcements for the 28th Thessaloniki International Documentary Festival, which will take place from 5 to 15 March 2026. We present five compelling documentaries dedicated to notable and renowned personalities.
The ever familiar image of the imposing cranes in the port of Thessaloniki is reimagined through the work of Alexandros Psychoulis, which will feature across this year’s edition. In the artist’s own words: “I grew up facing the port of Volos, gazing from my balcony at the huge cranes I would later come across at the Port of Thessaloniki. I grew up waiting for the moment when the cranes’ claws emerged from the ships’ holds, hauling up and revealing part of their innards, much like documentaries draw a fragment from life, suspending it briefly before the viewers’ eyes.”
