The 5th edition
of Athens International Short Film Festival Psarokokalo took place in Athens with great
success. For a whole week, the heart of the city was beating, in a rhythmical,
movie-going, festival mood in both its venues: the Greek Film Archive and Nixon
- which hosted the wide range of its activities. More than 2000 people passed
throughout the week and participated in its screenings and parallel events,
creating a vibrant cultural nucleus seeking for thematic and cinematic
innovations in substance and form.

The week
had it all: screenings of awarded short films from all around the world,
tributes, plus a number of interesting lectures and discussions between highly
acknowledged directors, designers,and
film professionals.

The audience prize was awarded to the short filmSTANKA GOES HOME by the Bulgarian director Maya
Vitkova.

The great
response with which the audience embraced the 5th edition of Athens
International Short Film Festival Psarokokalo, filled us with optimism and
strength for the preparation of the next festival, in which you are all invited
to participate!

See you
next year...
