Greek Film Festival (1960-1991)


Main article: Thessaloniki Festival of Greek Cinema

The first period of Thessaloniki Film Festival starts in 1960 and finished in 1991. During this period the festival showed exclusively Greek films. The festival was first held in 1960 as a modest "Week of Greek Cinema". From 1965 to 1991 the festival was named "Festival of Greek Cinema".[5][6] During these years the festival passed through various phases. The first years the festival was an important social event with flashy appearances of local showbiz stars. During the military junta (1967-1974), censorship made its appearance. During the Metapolitefsi the new generation of Greek directors dominated the awards, but at the same time the festival became increasingly politicized and two opposing groups of spectators appeared. The tension between these two groups reached a peak in 1977, when the festival split in two different festivals. The split lasted only one year. During the 80s the importance of the festival declined until in 1992, when it was decided to upgrade the event to an international film festival.[7][8]



International Film Festival (1992-today)


In 1992 the festival became an international film festival, acknowledged by the International Federation of Film Producers Associations (FIAPF). The Greek movies competed in a different section of the festival with the name Greek State Film Awards, until 2008. Nowadays Thessaloniki International Film Festival is an annual event focused on the discovery and promotion of new directors from all over the world. For ten days in mid-November, audiences numbering approximately 70,000, as well as hundreds of Greek and foreign Festival guests, attend screenings of more than 150 films in the city's cinemas.
