30th Athens International Film Festival |\u00a0<\/strong>October 2-14, 2024<\/p>\n

The Athens International Film Festival, sponsored by Nova, celebrates 30 years of cinematic magic, glamour, discoveries and uninterrupted love for cinema and its people.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the filmmakers, actors, producers and the entirety of professionals of the field, to everyone in the festival who contributed passionately throughout the years and our devoted and emotionally rejuvenating audience, our Festival keeps growing and spreading the uniqueness of the big screen in Greece and abroad. Our common goal remains during all those years: the unwavering passion for great cinema.<\/p>\n

A few 30 year old statistics, for the longing. The Athens International Film Festival counts over the years, more than:<\/p>\n

3.000 films<\/p>\n

25 venues (3 no longer operating ATTIKON, APOLLO, IDEAL)<\/p>\n

100 tributes<\/p>\n

700 international guests<\/p>\n

200 parties<\/p>\n

70 side events<\/p>\n

over 1.000.000 spectators<\/p>\n

And yet, what cannot be measured in numbers and statistics are those days of endless laughter and tears, the countless encounters with cinephile discussions, the friendships, the romances and the unforgettable experiences the Festival brought to us in and out of cinema halls. The Festival grew with us and now reaches the landmark of 30 luminous years. We wish, therefore, for this year and for the next 30 years, that the projectors of our cinemas will emit that beam of light that forever binds our city\u2019s autumns.<\/p>\n

Two friends reunite after years. One is a successful author, the other an ex-war correspondent now fighting her biggest battle as she suffers from a terminal illness. Under the shadow of an inevitable end, the two make a secret pact that, though grim, proves to be cathartic. In his first English-language feature film, Almodovar continues to praise women as a mysterious, unstoppable force, full of courage and empathy in the face of adversity. Expertly performed ode to friendship, powerful argument for the individual\u2019s right to determine its own destiny, and a statement of faith in companionship as pure hope in a world increasingly devoid of it. Golden Lion at this year’s Venice Film Festival.<\/p>\n
