Thessaloniki Hails 26th Edition Of Documentary Festival Which Overcame “Episodes Of Violence And Intolerance”
The 26th Thessaloniki International Documentary Festival has been declared a triumph, despite "episodes of violence and intolerance."
“This year’s TiDF hosted a great number of premieres, exciting talks and special events, and welcomed the internationally acclaimed artist Dimitris Papaioannou,” the festival noted in its report. Krassakopoulos adds, “Through the years we have made wonderful discoveries through films that were blindly submitted to us from people that we might know from shorts or that have passed through other channels of the festival like and the AGORA programs… I feel that our competition sections are pretty great.” As Deadline previously reported, Iranian filmmaker Farahnaz Sharifi’s My Stolen Planet won the Golden Alexander – the festival’s top prize — automatically qualifying the film for Oscar consideration.
