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 36 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).

The 66th TIFF (30/10-09/11/2025) hosts a tribute on the technique of plot twist, adopting a subversive approach on this valuable narrative tool. The tribute titled Plot Twist, Beyond Sixth Sense goes beyond the most popular and manifest plot twists found in cinema, casting a glance on rare and lesser known films, shot over the last fifty years, from 1976 to 2025. The formation of the tribute’s programme was carried out by art curator at The Renaissance Society at The University of Chicago director Myriam Ben Salah, who will undertake the curation of France's pavilion in the upcoming Venice Biennale, scheduled to be held in October 2026.
