Following the success of our first event, the "Anafi International Film Festival" returns in 2024, delving into the world of independent cinema and inviting film enthusiasts on another journey into the enchantment of the seventh art. This platform stands as a cultural landmark for Anafi and the international film community.
Beyond film screenings, the festival offers a variety of activities designed to create an exhilarating experience. Outdoor screenings, workshops, and networking events will take place in various locations on the island, combining cinematic enjoyment with cultural exchange.
The festival establishes itself as a platform that unites new voices and creates bonds among film professionals, cinematographers, and the audience.
Beyond cinema, the 2nd Anafi Film Festival is a holistic experience that blends art with local life. A significant part of the festival will involve highlighting local aspects and culture, exploring and documenting the everyday local life.
Initiatives include lessons for vineyards, cooking classes and the creation of an archive for the island. The goal is to highlight the stories and traditions of the community while simultaneously building bridges between locals and international creators.
The production of documentation is a crucial part of the mission, capturing the stories and moments behind each film and event. Workshops for locals, along with special screenings and educational activities for students, contribute to creating an educational tool for the local community.
The 2nd Anafi International Film Festival is a pioneering effort to connect the world of cinema with the rich cultural heritage of Anafi, creating a unique link between art and the local community.
International Film Festival invites Greek and international filmmakers, creators, and producers to submit their proposals until February 29, 2024, with an early bird submission deadline on January 31, 2024. The festival is open to all cinematic approaches, accepting films of various genres, including fiction, documentary, animation, and experimental works.
