Discovering new talents and voices that renew our perspective remains at the core of the Festival. This year, at the 66th Thessaloniki International Film Festival (30 October - 9 November 2025), movies from all over the world, screened at TIFF’s competition sections, International Competition, Meet the Neighbors+ and >>Film Forward, incite us to embark on exciting and deeply humane film journeys.
We are delighted to unveil the 32 full-length films and the 30 short films screened at the 66th Thessaloniki International Film Festival, within the framework of the Greek Film Festival. For yet another year, the Festival offers its longstanding support to Greek cinema and the Greek filmmakers through a series of targeted and innovative actions and initiatives.
With beloved chef Sotiris Kontizas as ambassador, the Agora of the 66th Thessaloniki International Film Festival returns — more dynamic than ever. This year, Agora is organizing an exciting masterclass, open to the public, by Saverio Costanzo, director and screenwriter of the series My Brilliant Friend, and will, as always, present pioneering initiatives for professionals in the audiovisual industry. The Agora (October 31-November 8), held with the valuable support of the Creative Europe-MEDIA program, offers a range of opportunities for networking and co-productions across the global film industry.
The 66th Thessaloniki International Film Festival is hosting a deeply political tribute titled Fragilities, focusing on the limitations that demarcate the fragile human nature. The tribute is part of the renewed and extended Survey Expanded section of the Meet the Neighbors+ competition section, which includes films from the wider neighborhood of Greece.
The Thessaloniki International Film Festival, in collaboration with production and distribution company Finos Film, this year will honor 37 iconic actors and actresses who starred in many of the most defining moments of the 1960s Greek cinema. The renowned honorees will be awarded for their overall contribution to Greek cinema and culture as part of a special event that will take place on Monday November 3rd, within the framework of the Festival’s 66th edition (October 30th-November 9th, 2025).
Agora proudly announces its selection for the Agora Works in Progress program. From November 2 to 6, 2025, eight films from Southeastern Europe and the Mediterranean region will be showcased, offering an exciting look into the future of cinema from these vibrant areas.
