History and teachings
The Film Festival was founded by the Athens Film Society (a Non-Profit Organisation) with the intention of highlighting lesser-known aspects/genres of independent cinema, introducing audiences to some of the best productions of the year and establishing itself as the ideal opening of the upcoming movie season.

Cross-cultural dimensions
The Festival presents the audience the latest movie trends worldwide, being able to watch the most successful productions of the season before anyone else. In fact, their goal is to provide a handpicked selection of independent productions from all over the world.
