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 of the year will be screened in Greece during the annual event. NEXT SCREENING will take place in FALL 2024.

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.

HAND PAINTED PORTRAIT Category :
In order to highlight the filmmakers and all members of the team, Hallucinea collaborates with the French painter, Alexandre David Lejuez, in the creation of individual portraits from photo models. The work will be produced in acrylic on canvas cardboard (25x25 or 24x30cm - depending on availability). So, you can purchase your painting by choosing the “Hand painted portrait” category and submit the photo of your choice to us. You will be put in direct contact with the artist by email. For more information on this subject, consult our website. Also, you can consult the artist's website : www.alexandredavidlejuez-art.blogspot.com
