Split hosts 9th International Archaeological Film Festival
The 9th International Archaeological Film Festival (MFAF) concluded at the Zlatna vrata Cinema in Split, Croatia. The event featured 25 films from 16 countries, selected from 1,961 submissions, covering diverse historical eras from Neanderthal art to Mediterranean maritime history.
Major award winners included the Swiss-French documentary ‘Artemis – The Lost Temple’ by Sébastien Reichenbach, which received both the Audience Award and the Student Jury Award. The film chronicles the decades-long search for the ancient sanctuary of Artemis on the Greek island of Euboea. The professional jury’s top prize was awarded to ‘Answer from Greenland’ by Alice Watterson, which examines how rising global temperatures threaten Nordic archaeological sites.
Other notable winners included ‘Army of Lovers – Holy Order of Ancient Greece’ by Lefteris Charitos and ‘Alexander’s Face’ by Vanni Gandolfo. The festival program also explored themes such as the Roman Limes along the Danube and the prehistoric cave art of Chauvet in France.
