With their Athens offices shuttered by the pandemic in the weeks leading up to this year’s Thessaloniki Intl. Film Festival, industry head Yianna Sarri and her brain trust began holding weekly meetings at cafés in the Greek capital, social-distancing and trying to make the most of an increasingly fluid and unpredictable situation.

But nearly eight months later, as coronavirus continues to wreak havoc on economies across the globe, and much of Europe—including Greece—moves into a second lockdown, Sarri said the role of theto support local filmmakers couldn’t be more urgent. “We try to do everything in our power, even if it’s online…even in these circumstances, we will do our best to help the Greek industry,” she said.

The program will also include the second edition of Meet the Future, a showcase for emerging professionals working in different sectors of the film industry, which this year will spotlight the work of eight up-and-coming Greek cinematographers.
