6th Athens Marathon International Film Festival

Established by “THE BASEMENT” a nonprofit and non-governmental Cultural and Education Organisation (B.C.E.O.), the Athens Marathon International Film Festival (A.M.I.F.F.) is an annual international event dedicated to independent filmmakers.

Located in the city of Athens, Greece, we look forward to hosting an amazing event for you and your friends. The A.M.I.F.F. is a multi-day event that takes place at various venues throughout the city.

Our future wish is to screen the films in open-air cinemas along the authentic classical ancient Marathon route from Marathon to Athens. Viewers will enjoy free movies on a widescreen, under the full starry sky of Attika and next to the deep blue of the Aegean sea.

The A.M.I.F.F. hopes to be a world-recognised event, with industry, filmmakers, and press from around the globe. The festival is competitive and will screen approximately 100-150 films each year.

The film industry today is largely monopoly-based and dependent on large scale film budgets for productions to succeed. However, this festival aims at providing a voice for those who don't have a massive budget but nevertheless, an important story to tell.
