GEN-C CARD: THE NEW LOYALTY CARD OF TFF

The Gen-C Card rewards audiences who delight in the big-screen experience by offering a range of additional benefits.

This new initiative aims to strengthen the vital bond between audiences and the traditional cinema, restoring filmgoing as a meaningful, lived experience. The Gen-C(inema) Card is addressed to the “cinema generation” — not defined by age, but by a lasting love for stories, the creative vision of filmmakers, and the magic of the darkened theatre as cinema’s natural habitat.

In more detail:

• The card has space for 20 stickers. For each European film you receive 2 stickers, while for every other film you receive 1 sticker.
• Once you collect 5 stickers, you can get free popcorn from the Green Room at Olympion or the refreshment stand at Warehouse 1.
• With 20 stickers, you earn one free ticket for any screening at the Festival venues, by handing in the card to Festival staff.
• Upon completing the card and submitting it to Festival staff, you automatically enter a prize draw to be held in late December 2026, where two winners will receive airline tickets, accommodation in Athens, and guaranteed seats at the European Film Academy Awards ceremony, to take place in January 2027. After the draw, you may continue collecting stickers (and claiming the remaining benefits) until the promotion concludes in August 2027.
• After completing your first card, you are entitled to receive a new card free of charge from the Festival.
• The promotion applies only to first-run films and excludes special screenings, Festival tributes, and third-party events.
• The Gen-C Card is not valid for zero-value tickets. In addition, it does not apply to screenings of the Thessaloniki International Film Festival and the Thessaloniki Documentary Festival.

The public can obtain the Gen-C Card daily, from 18:00 until the end of the day’s screenings, at the foyers of Olympion and Warehouse 1.

*The detailed terms and conditions are available in Greek only.
