Open Call: Big Short Films
Short films harbor big emotions
Onassis Culture supports Greek cinema, releasing the potential and talent of emerging filmmakers. In 2023, for the very first time, it addressed an open call to Greek and international filmmakers to submit their proposals for short films. A total of 132 proposals were received, of which five were subsequently chosen to receive funding for 10,000 euros each. They shall go into production within the year, to find their way to the big screen and meet local and international audiences at festivals worldwide. The next Open Call is scheduled for announcement at the beginning of the new year.
Award-winning Greek short films at Onassis Channel
Every year, award-winning Greek short films from the latest editions of the Drama International Short Film Festival and the Athens International Film Festival Opening Nights are coming to the Onassis Channel on YouTube. The Onassis Foundation is working with the Athens International Film Festival Opening Nights (AIFF) and the Drama International Short Film Festival (DISFF) to bring a selection of their award-winning Greek short films to our screens. The films stand out for their bold and distinctive takes on social and existential issues rooted in the here and now.
