Illuminating stories and burning up-to-the-minute issues of current affairs are thrust into the limelight during the 27th Thessaloniki International Documentary Festival, held from March 6th to March 16th, 2025. The unwavering policy of the state of Texas against abortions, a journalistic pilgrimage in northern Gaza amid Israeli bombings and violent clashes, the vast propaganda campaign of Russia's authoritarian political system and the struggle of five women against digital control, are all chronicled in a selection of great documentaries  within the framework of the 27th TiDF.

Τhe 27th TiDF AGORA (March 7-15) has selected 10 projects from 12 countries for the Agora Docs in Progress, from Southeastern Europe and the Mediterranean region, as well 4 projects from Greece for the Agora Boost (previously known as Agora Lab).  

The posters of the 27th Thessaloniki International Documentary Festival (6-16/3/2025), which embark on a journey across the Greek landscape, but also to the future, in absurd and imaginary cities, bear the signature of painter Dimitris Anastasiou.
