As for the Greek Film Festival of TIFF, both established and first-time filmmakers will be competing in the First Run and Crossing Borders sections. On the tenth anniversary of the death of Theo Angelopoulos, TIFF pays homage to his debut film, placing the idea of Reconstruction at the very core of this year’s edition. Also, the festival will host a grandiose tribute to the art and the profession of acting, under the title “Time to Act”, featuring a series of master classes delivered by guests from Greece and abroad.

Finally, ten Greek-language and English-language podcasts will take part in the Podcast Competition section of the festival, while the audience will have a chance to enjoy another ten podcasts out of competition. Furthermore, all podcasts will be available to listen to through the festival’s website.
