The Athens International Film Festival, CINEMA magazine and cinemagazine.gr are putting together, for a seventh consecutive year, a cinematic event that aims to link the life in the city with the art of cinema.

The Athens Open Air Film Festival organizes outdoor events against the backdrop of the most distinctive monuments of Athens, touristic destinations as well as more unexpected locations, which showcase the urban landscape (squares, parks, pedestrian areas) for its residents as well as its visitors. Central areas of the city are transformed in order to host film screenings, concerts, premieres of short films and many more interactive events, as always free of charge for everyone.

The primary goal of this event, which will run from June until September, is to draw attention towards the centre of Athens and its suburbs, so that the residents and the visitors are reacquainted with the city that we love to dislike as a city that is both a modern European city and a unique touristic destination.

Out of a wide selection of films, ranging from the most popular ones to the most uncommon, from short to feature-filmmaking attempts by the representatives of the new Greek cinema and subversive artistic suggestions of “mixed media” fusing cinema with music, the two film organizations of Greece offer four uplifting artistic months, full of passion, and love for cinema and art.
