The Athens Open Air Film Festival takes place for the 5th year in a row with more than 20 hand-picked projections in the capital’s most prominent neighborhoods, converting Athens into a luminous film oasis.
From June to September, historical sites and gorgeous corners in Athens are transformed into open-air movie theatres with free entrance. Among these are the Dionysiou Areopagitou pedestrian precinct, the Petralona Park, Plato’s Academy Park, Avdi Square, Drakopoulou Villa and some of the most beautiful museums in Athens such as the Numismatic Museum, the Byzantine & Christian Museum and the National Archaeological Museum.
This year, the screenings further expand to venues such as the Open Theatre of Kolonos, the Benaki Museum and the amazing Train at Rouf Theatre, while one of the most impressive archaeological sites, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, will host the premiere, especially for the Festival. Among the 5th Athens Open Air Film Festival designated spots are also main open-air cinemas in town such as Cine Dexameni, Cine Zefyros and Ellinis Cinemax.
Having won the first prize at the 2015 Tourism Awards in the Cultural Tourism category, the Athens Open Air Film Festival presents, for yet another year, a carefully selected programme which includes various cinema genres and aspires to entertain even the most demanding audience.
The Athens Open Air Film Festival takes place for the third consecutive year with the kind support of the Greek National Tourism Organisation.
