66th THESSALONIKI INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
31 OCTOBER → 9 NOVEMBER 2025

Warehouse C
The Festival’s official opening party will kick off with an electrifying live performance by twin sisters Olga and Niki Skiadaresi, the powerhouse Greek duo known simply as Skiadareses. Songwriters, performers, and actors, they’ve become a local viral sensation with lyrics that capture the spirit and struggles of a generation–raw, witty, and unapologetically real. Their sharp humor and infectious energy have turned every live show into a celebration of attitude and authenticity. Or, in their own words: “Once upon a time, there were the Skiadareses. And they lived happily ever after. That was the short version. If you want to hear the whole story, come to our live show.”
Featuring: Fanis Zachopoulos, Haris Paraskevas, Alexis Stenakis / Dubbing: Praxis studio / Editing: Kostas Chaikalis

Greece Goes Modern is not only Mimis Plessas’s legendary album but also the inspiration behind a vibrant DJ project by Andreas Mitrelis (Veego Records) and Christos Sotiropoulos (Mono Record Store). Their joint sets are more than just entertaining. They’re nostalgic, educational, and deeply celebratory of Greek music across the decades. Blending pop sensibilities with timeless melodies, the duo curates tracks that span generations: from Marinella and Aleka Kanellidou to Michalis Rakintzis, Pan Pan, The Olympians, Rififi, Kore Ydro, Vlassis Bonatsos, Eleni Dimou, and Nalyssa Green. From the groovy shakes of the 1960s and the unapologetic hits of the 1980s to the rock of the 1990s and today’s Greek pop and rap, Greece Goes Modern is a danceable journey through the country’s musical evolution, one that brings back memories while keeping the rhythm of the present alive.
