The Festival on the road |
|
 | This is one of the most significant events of the Short Film Festival in Drama. Having ascertained a serious deficiency in the distribution of short films in Greece, the Festival has decided to intervene in the distribution network. For the past six years, it has taken Greek short films on the road to many cities in Greece and Cyprus, but also to cities abroad with large Greek communities, for example, cities in Egypt and Germany. This event, known as “The Festival of Drama on the Road”, traveled to over 30 different cities this year. It is important to note that for many people, this is their first contact with cinema per se. Over the past few years, the Short Film Festival in Drama has set up a wide network of cooperation with older, but especially new, institutions, all of which are typical of what is most fresh and vital in the regional areas of Greece today. It is an arrangement that can only benefit all those concerned: cinema as an art form, the Greek short film, the city of Drama that supports the Festival and, last but not least, cultural decentralization. |
