Cinema is not merely moving images, but a living organism that evolves through time. In the digital era, art meets technology in an endless dialogue; every new tool opens pathways to new narratives, new languages, new sensitivities.AIDFF perceives cinema not only as a medium of expression, but as a space of reflection and renewal. Through the vision of independent creators, “New Cinema” seeks its own future—where the image becomes idea, and the idea transforms into art.The festival is both a laboratory and a celebration. A meeting point where thought, technology, and imagination shape the cinematic landscape of tomorrow.Organization & Support Organized by: ΚΟΥΙΝΤΑ Organization & Tickets Tickets Supported by: Greek Film Centre In collaboration with: Cultural institutions and companies in Greece and abroad More information:🌐 www.aidff.com📸 Instagram🔗 LinkedIn
