Athens Film Festival now accepting submissions

Athens is a small town with a big number of talented people living in it, and there simply aren’t enough stages for every musician to perform on.

With last year’s successful revival of the Athens Film Festival (AFF), the number of available places to screen movies increased, but it still wasn’t enough to play everything that was sent in. The earlier you submit your film, the better chance you have of getting into the festival.

Though it opened for submissions last October, the AFF this month made a public announcement via its Facebook page seeking entries for their 2025 program, scheduled to take place Aug. 14-17. Submissions will be accepted via the Film Freeway website at filmfreeway.com/athensfilm through July 1 at the very latest. There is no fee to enter, and the early deadline is coming up soon on Feb. 15.

The 2024 AFF took place on Aug. 15-17 and downtown venues Ciné, The Morton Theatre, Flicker Theatre & Bar and The Globe all participated in screening the movies. Because the AFF is an international festival, submissions are open to any filmmaker in the world, and favor is not necessarily given to movies made by Athens-based artists. In addition to features and shorts, the AFF also has categories for music videos, student films and more.
