The 63rd Thessaloniki Film Festival unveils its visual identity. 

Debbie McWilliams, the top-notch casting director of the James Bond movies, along with the “generation next” represented by Jemima McWilliams, renowned agent Laurent Grégoire, who served as the source of inspiration for the phenomenal series Call my Agent that we all enjoyed on Netflix, legendary Greek actress Themis Bazaka, as well as the acclaimed Greek casting directors Sofia Dimopoulou and Makis Gazis, are the 63rd Thessaloniki International Film Festival guests, within the framework of the large-scale tribute “Time to Act”, dedicated to the art and the profession of acting. This fascinating three-day tribute is riddled with masterclasses, workshops and discussions that delve into the actors and their work: How do they select a script, how do they go through the casting process, how do they approach their role. In addition, we will cast a glance at the upcoming talents of Greek cinema’s future.

Thessaloniki International Film Festival kicks off on Thursday November 3^rd and welcomes its audience with a tender coming-of-age movie that renders homage to the magical aura and the redeeming power of cinema. The Fabelmans, the most personal film in Steven Spielberg’s’ vaunted career, which snatched the prestigious People’s Choice Award in the recent Toronto Film Festival, is the opening film of the 63rd TIFF.

Film submissions for the 25^th Thessaloniki Documentary Festival (2-12/03/2023) are now open.
