About the festival

*We are currently accepting submissions for our 2021 event!*

We successfully held our event on August 15th 2020, at the beautiful venue, Kamari Open Air Cinema, working with the municipality government to ensure all health regulations were being followed.

Santorini Film Festival - Indie Films Under the Stars welcomes you to the island of beautiful sunsets, for a night of celebrating remarkable independent cinema.

Santorini Film Festival, the first international independent film festival on the island is open to any indie filmmaker, regardless of budget, style or genre, who is looking for a platform to share their work with an audience eager to see great films.

We look forward to showing your films at Cinema Kamari, an open air cinema, where the cinema fans can come together and immerse themselves in your stories, under the starry sky of Santorini. The perfect setting to have some cocktails and engage in conversation with fellow filmmakers and festival goers.

After the screenings we will continue with an afterparty and networking event.

We are hosting our fourth edition at Cinema Kamari in June 2021!

✹✹✹

SFF is run in association with HF Productions, a collection of international film festivals supporting indie filmmaking. By establishing a working network among filmmakers, producers and marketing professionals, we share one common goal: to forge productive and lasting relationships between independent filmmakers and audiences.

A selection of films will be nominated for awards in different categories, and will receive official selection laurels. The winners of the awards will be announced at the festival and our website the following day.

Our judging panel consists of filmmakers, producers and other individuals who work in the film industry. We also offer writing critiques and reviews for your film.

All winners will receive customised laminated certificates, The Santorini Film Festival Trophy alongside other "goodies" and perks.
