Evia Film Project #2 | 20-24/06/2023

Evia Film Project, Thessaloniki International Film Festival’s green action, kicked off last year, with the aim of offering support to the region of Northern Evia, following the 2021 calamitous wildfires. Evia Film Project’s first edition attracted more than 350 film industry professionals, producers, directors, and journalists from all around the globe, who discovered Evia’s beauties and attended awareness-raising activities on sustainability (environmental footprint, recycling etc.), receiving valuable information on the optimal practices of green cinema that are rapidly gaining ground on a worldwide scale.

This year, the renewed second edition of Evia Film Project is consolidating its place as the third pilar of Thessaloniki International Film Festival. The 2nd Evia Film Projects invites us to Northern Evia, featuring a program of films, educational activities, open discussions, music events and a surplus of summertime feelgood mood. From 20 to 24 June 2023, with the support of the Ministry of Culture Sports, Evia Film Project will be held in Edipsos, Limni and Agia Anna, hosting a series of free-admission events.
