The Festival
The Amorgos Film Festival is a member of the international organization CIFFT, based in Vienna. During the festival there are daily projections at Aegialis Hotel & Spa where the festival takes place and in 4 different locations of Amorgos. Each year, it awards the best choices of documentaries, and travel films, that contribute to the development of domestic and foreign tourism and to the implementation of green practices. The main purpose of the Festival is to create an international platform for enhancing global tourism through audiovisual media.
The Festival aims:

- To disseminate and encourage the implementation of green practices in tourism, taking into account the need for social responsibility and sustainable development.
- Encourage the production of short films and develop a spirit of friendship and cooperation among producers from all over the world.
- The festival also aims to contribute to the exchange of views and experiences for the development of remote and disadvantaged areas and to promote Amorgos, the Cyclades, and Greece abroad.
- Short films are a good opportunity to showcase the cultural and environmental wealth of each region.
The participation and presentation of artists, producers and journalists from all over the world is growing year by year. With films, announcements, articles, photos and interviews that are published in foreign and domestic media each year, after the meeting in Amorgos, our sites are being promoted, and they help the increase of the visitation of land, not simply for tourist but also for professional and creative reasons. Greece and its islands become a place of inspiration and attraction for new creations.
The Festival contributes to the development of new collaborations based on the island of Amorgos and Greece. There are already many productions of films by foreign artists who participated in the Amorgos Festival, got inspired by the natural landscape and the history of the island and created films that are screened and participating in other festivals abroad.
