Athens Open Air Film Festival 2025

The beloved Athens Open Air Film Festival returns for its 15th edition, transforming iconic locations around the city into open-air cinemas — from archaeological sites and public parks to cultural landmarks. With digitally restored classics, cult favorites, and themed film marathons, this summer-long celebration of cinema is entirely free of charge.

 

In collaboration with institutions such as the Hellenic Foundation for Culture, the Museum of Cycladic Art, and the French Institute of Greece, the festival blends film with literature, history, and art.
