HALLUCINEA FILM FESTIVAL is a film festival created in 2021 with an annual screening event for independent filmmakers all around the world.
We are based both in Paris (France) and also in Greece for screenings.

Throughout the year, we organize sessions via our Youtube channel with different prizes.
A selection of the best short films will be screened in Greece during the event that takes place at the end of the year, in collaboration with Lazarus Gerofotis and the Thessaloniki Free Short Festival.
Selected filmmakers will be kept informed about this event.

The festival aims to reveal unknown talents through different genres such as experimental, horror, drama, science fiction, eroticism, thriller, animation, romance, documentary and comedy.

We also make REVIEWS, INTERVIEWS for your films.

Each work submitted to the festival will be accepted and validated by the jury to be part of the official selection (according to the rules).

The films awarded in each category will obtain an official certificate signed by the jury and will be listed on our website.
A filmmaker can also get the review for his movie. It will be published on our website.

    I was delighted to have two of my short films (SHE COULDN’T PUT IT DOWN and YOUR HUSBAND’S PASSWORD) named as Official Selections by this Festival. I'm sorry that I wasn't able to attend and find out more about the program.

    Thank you for including our film in your festival. I'm very glad that we've been able to correspond with the other filmmakers and their films look intriguing. Awarding our film the Best Director award is an honor and we look forward to future Hallucinea events.
