With a series of initiatives, the Thessaloniki International Film Festival honors Dimitri Eipides, the man who faithfully served the cinematic medium, the founder of the Thessaloniki Documentary Festival and for many years the director of Thessaloniki Film Festival organization, a visionary who introduced a new kind of cinema and discovered great filmmakers.

The 23^rd Thessaloniki Documentary Festival goes online and presents the best documentaries from all over the world, an exciting feature and the most thrilling documentaries for children and young people.

Everything that awaits us, the open horizon, the journeys and the sense of discovery are reflected in the Festival posters. A road trip, a child playing carefree with a small airplane, the traveling birds. All together express the day after, which we hope will not be far away.
