This is one of the most unique film festivals in Europe which focuses in Cinematic Monologues.
We really appreciate your presence in our festival as it is all about interconnection and direct contact of the creators of a film with the audience. (If you intend to be present include it in your cover letter, or send us an email)

In the past Agrinio was the center of the ancient kingdom of Aetolia, the place where Queen Leda, mother of Helen of Troy was born.
We decided to keep a strong bond with this important part of history by naming our festival "Leda's Monologues".

Awards & Prizes

All submitted films that meet our requirements and are selected participate in the contest.

The "Selected Films" will be screened live in Agrinio.
The "Best Films" which will get the highest score by our jury will be awarded.

Awards include:
"Best Short Film", "Best International Monologue", "Best Documentary", "Best Original Soundtrack" and "Best Script."
The "Audience Award" is an award given by the audience by voting which movie they liked best.

Winners receive a statuette of Leda, uniquely created by the artist Nefeli Ekati Katsarou and advisory support for their next script. Also, they get a free entry code for the next edition of the festival.

"Out of competition" films, if selected, participate in the festival's online screener and some in the event's screenings.

"Finalists" & "Semi-Finalists" that won't make it to the final program can be screened in the online platform of the festival after the director's and producer's approval.

    We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the organizers for their excellent hospitality and the friendly atmosphere they created. This festival truly immerses you in the cinematic world and fosters connections between creators and the stars of all the projects. I look forward to participating again in the future with a new project. The production of "Τhe Silent Synthetic Symphony" warmly thanks you for everything.
