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

History of the place:
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".

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 among others:
"Best Short Film", "Best International Monologue", "Best Documentary", "Best Original Soundtrack" and "Best Script."
Your film automatically competes also in : "Best Performance", "Best Scenography", "Best Makeup & Hairstyle", "Best Production", "Best Edit", "Best Directing" and "Creativity Award" with each submission.
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 Nephele Ekati Katsarou. 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.

* All submissions are accepted exclusively via FilmFreeway.

* By submitting you agree that excerpts of your movie could be used for promotional purposes (festival's trailer, photos in articles etc)
You can change that, if you do not want it by mentioning so at any time.

* If you are submitting more than one entry, a separate submission is required for each film.

* We kindly ask you to cut, or shorten, your credits to 15-20'' maximum in your film's final version that you will send us.

* Promoting violence, or racism, in any form in a film is unacceptable.

    This is the real deal. Such a beautifully organised festival. To have your work showcased in an open air cinema is a fantastic experience. To be amongst so may great artist who attended from all over the world was magical. This is a film festival for filmmakers.
    The selection of films were incredible and to receive three awards for my projects was just the cherry on top.
    Thank you to the organisers for creating this platform. I can't wait for next year.
