It is an immense joy and honor for the Thessaloniki International Film Festival to welcome one of the most beloved singers of Greece, the renowned artist Haris Alexiou, as the ambassador of Agora, TIFF’s developmental branch.

The 64th Thessaloniki International Film Festival (2-12 November 2023) is honoring one of the most unique and daring voices of contemporary Greek cinema, beloved Greek director Nikos Perakis, by bestowing an honorary Golden Alexander award for his contribution to cinema. Also, the Festival is organizing a five-movie tribute that brings forth his outstanding work both as a film director and a production designer. 

Where did the COVID-19 pandemic leave the film markets? What are the needs that should be addressed now? How is the traditional model shifting? What would an economically, ecologically and socially sustainable future of Film Markets look like? Thessaloniki International Film Festival’s initiative, a series of Think Tanks  titled “Think Tank: Shaping the Film Markets of Tomorrow”, organized in partnership with the Cannes’ Marché du Film and Berlinale’s European Film Market and in collaboration with the consultancy agency The Catalysts, attempted to answer these very questions.
