2021 Ιris Αwards Ceremony | Live Streaming

This year, Greek cinema proved that even in the most difficult of circumstances, it always finds ways to live on and evolve, journeying to festivals around the world. 2020 saw 121 films submitted as contenders for the 12th Hellenic Film Academy Iris Awards – an impressive number given the pandemic.

Adopting “Every film is an act of rebellion” as its rallying cry, the 12th Iris Awards Ceremony is being held live in person at the Alsos Theater and streamed live on the Onassis Channel on YouTube. This year’s nominees include “Ballad for a Pierced Heart” directed by Yannis Economides, co-produced by Onassis Culture, and the documentary “Birds (or How To Be One)” by Babis Makridis, produced by the Onassis Foundation.
