For the ninth year, the city’s ultimate family festival invites children, teenagers and their families to a unique cinematic experience full of discoveries, emotion, humour and imagination. This year’s programme includes selected films from Greece and around the world, screenings for different age groups, animation, live dubbing, a surprise tribute, as well as accompanying activities that enrich the audience’s experience. Young viewers will travel to new worlds, meet everyone from a detective mouse to a teenage rapper, watch the sequel to last year’s audience-award winner, and discover different perspectives on the world around them. At the same time, the festival’s commitment to being open and accessible continues, with screenings and activities aimed at reaching as wide an audience as possible.
