In today’s context, the term “Digital” is more relevant than ever, while “New Cinema” has become synonymous with “Digital” and “New Era”. Digital filmmaking marks a turning point in cinematic history, where the blend of art and technology constantly opens new frontiers.
Over more than a decade of continuous presence, AIDFF has established itself as a creative hub for filmmakers worldwide, cultivating a new generation of open-minded, boundary-free storytellers.
Now in its 14th edition, the Athens International Digital Film Festival (AIDFF) reaffirms its role as a defining platform in the landscape of contemporary digital cinema—not merely through screenings, but through a deeper theoretical engagement with the moving image. At its core lies the intersection of art and technology, with the digital medium emerging as the dominant vehicle for cinematic expression in our time. Over the years, the festival has supported and showcased hundreds of filmmakers from around the world, cultivating a global cinematic polyphony and establishing itself as a space for dialogue, innovation, and critical reflection. Rooted in tradition yet forward-looking, AIDFF champions an open and evolving cinematic culture—one that transcends boundaries and embraces cinema as a living, dynamic art form.
