How does one make the transition from short films to a long-length debut film? Which tools and instruments can be of assistance? What poses the biggest challenge? Three festivals are offering a helping hand to young filmmakers, answering the most pivotal questions. The 2-day Agora Short Film Lab is an initiative hosted by the Thessaloniki International Film Festival, scheduled to be held within the context of the 62nd TIFF (4-14, November 2021), in collaboration with Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival and Drama International Short Film Festival. 

Happening (L’Événement) by French director Audrey Diwan, the movie that stirred sensation and won the Golden Lion at the 78^th Venice International Film Festival, will raise the curtain of the 62^nd Thessaloniki International Film Festival, scheduled to be held from November 4 to 14, 2021.

We would like to inform you that the submission process for the Podcast section of the 62nd Thessaloniki International Film Festival is extended until Friday, September 17, 2021 at 17:00 EEST, due to a delay created by the measures taken for COVID-19.

Film submissions for the 24^th Thessaloniki Documentary Festival (10-20/03/2022) are now open.

After the success of the new podcast section at the 23rd Thessaloniki Documentary Festival -in total, 3,500 listeners from all over the world enjoyed the podcasts that participated in the section-, the 62nd Thessaloniki International Film Festival (November 4 – 14) invites podcasters from Greece and abroad to submit their podcasts for the podcast section.
