ΘΕΡΝόΝ invites filmmakers, artists, and students to submit their works. For the sixth consecutive year, the festival will take place in August at a secluded spot, be it a dilapidated building or a vineyard, on the island of Ithaca. Following its tradition of showcasing unique venues, the festival will also journey to other locations such as the small village of Lesini and the island of Etoliko.

Screenings always occur with free admission, offering an opportunity for cinephiles and curious minds alike to immerse themselves in the diverse world of short films. Whether you're a seasoned filmmaker or a budding talent, this festival provides a platform for creativity to flourish against the backdrop of Ithaca's natural beauty. Join us for an unforgettable cinematic experience under the starlit skies of the island.

    very confusing to be selected as a finalist and not be shown. what is a finalist and what differentiates it from a rejected film? aren't they exactly the same thing, films not shown?
    all the luck to everyone

  • I got the acceptance letter saying my short is a Finalist and nothing happened, my letter was ignored, I'm not sure if that's even a real event. As a curator of two underground festivals, I find this kinda treatment extremely upsetting and unprofessional. I personally respect filmmakers and do my best to communicate with them when it comes to my both filmfreeway approved festivals.
