Over the years, AIDFF has established itself as an important international event dedicated to innovative cinematic expression, digitaltechnologies, and artistic experimentation. Each year, the festival showcases works from dozens of countries, creating meaningful opportunities for cultural exchange and collaboration among filmmakers, industry professionals, artists, and audiences.

Alongside its competition program, the festival will present special tributes, international collaborations, educational activities, masterclasses, panel discussions, and parallel cultural events, which will be gradually announced in the coming months.

The festival will also continue to develop its parallel initiatives, including the International Panorama of Ecological and Scientific Films and the International Screenplay Festival, further strengthening the dialogue between cinema, technology, science, and education.

Athens will once again become a meeting point for the global film community, welcoming filmmakers, professionals, and cinema enthusiasts to a week dedicated to the art of filmmaking and the future of digital storytelling.

The Athens International Digital Film Festival is supported by the Hellenic Film and Audiovisual Center – Creative Greece (EKKOMED).
