Onassis Culture at Drama International Short Film Festival 2021
Onassis Foundation Director of Culture, Afroditi Panagiotakou, is a member of the jury at the International Competition of Drama International Short Film Festival (DISFF) 2021. At the closing ceremony, she has announced two new film awards by Onassis Culture.
Our wish for the Onassis Culture cinema family is to be an ever-growing one. Through the International Competition of the Drama International Short Film Festival we discovered new voices worth hearing. So, we decided that the Greek filmmakers participating in the DISFF International Competition will receive the Onassis Film Development Grant. This year, Manolis Mavris and Aris Kaplanidis will receive €10,000 each to develop their feature-length script.
Also, this year for the first time – in partnership with the Drama Festival – we establish an Inclusion and Acceptance Award, the Onassis Culture Queer Drama Award. The award is given to one of the National Competition short films with LGBT+ content and is accompanied by a €2,000 cash prize.
