International Micro μ Festival is the fastest-growing independent short film festival in Greece.

What makes Micro μ festival unique is the fact that it takes place in different cities around Greece and the world on the same day and time. It thus gives the ability to its audience to connect, through simultaneously watching, the 15 pre-selected films of its contest section in real time and then voting for their favourite.

Micro μ festival’s ambition has been to promote the short film genre to a wider audience, especially in rural areas of Greece and selected cities abroad. Micro μ aims to unite culturally diverse audiences all over the globe through internationally highlighting the work of short filmmakers

The festival has had a great impact to the Greek audience so far. Since 2011, when it was first launched in Athens, requests to include new cities in its network have greatly increased. So far, the festival has managed to raise the number of participating cities in approximately two per year, recently reaching a network of fifteen screening locations in Greece and abroad.

The IMMF 2025 includes the following categories:
1. Competition Section (Greek submissions)
2. International Section
3. Student Section

During the IMMF 2025 the audience will also have the chance to enjoy special tributes and become part of various workshops around the Europe.

    We were incredibly honoured and thrilled to have been selected from among so many amazing films to have the Greek premiere of our short film Sugar by Aušra Giedraitytė at the wonderful Micro μ Festival. It was an inspiring experience to be part of such a vibrant celebration of cinema, and we’re deeply grateful for the opportunity to share our story with the passionate Greek audience.
