Athens International Children and Youth Film Festival announces 2026 details

Kalliopi Charalampous, Director of the Athens International Children and Youth Film Festival, has shared details regarding the upcoming third edition of the event. Scheduled to take place from November 9 to 15, 2026, the festival will be hosted at various locations, including the Athens Megaron, the Museum of Cycladic Art, the French Institute of Greece, and several cinemas across Athens.

The festival’s motto for this year is “Look at Me,” a phrase inspired by the film “Papa, Look at Me” by Voula Stamelou. The theme focuses on helping children and adolescents find their identity and find their voices, aiming to encourage collective cinematic experiences to help youth move away from screen isolation.
