Athens Children and Youth Film Festival returns in November

The Athens Children and Youth International Film Festival is returning for its ninth consecutive year, scheduled to take place from November 9 to November 15. Under the theme “Look at Me,” this year’s edition focuses on the “scrolling generation,” exploring how young people seek identity and connection through digital images and video.

The program features a diverse selection of films from Greece and around the world, catering to various age groups from infants to teenagers. Highlights include a special tribute to Tim Burton featuring three stop-motion animation films: “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” “Corpse Bride,” and “Frankenweenie.” Greek cinematic contributions such as “Krata Me” by Myrsini Aristeidou, “Bugboy” by Loukas Palaokrassas, and “Stachomazochtra” by Panagiotis Rappas are also included.

Events and screenings will be held at several venues, including the Athens Concert Hall, the Museum of Cycladic Art, the French Institute of Greece, and various cinemas such as Kifisia 1 and 2 Cinemax, Danaos, and Village Cinemas in Rentis, Marousi, and Ilion.
