HALLUCINEA FILM FESTIVAL is a film festival with an annual screening event for independent filmmakers all around the world.
For each session, we announce the winners live on our YouTube channel.

For a physical screening, we are in collaboration with the Thessaloniki Free Short Festival and its director Lazarus Gerofotis. The best short films (including Student) will be screened in Greece during the annual event. Next Screening will take place on October 5, 2023.

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.
