????Laurel????
The tradition of awarding a laurel wreath to the winner began in the Pythias at Delphi in Greece in, the 6th century BC.
They were organized in honor of the god Apollo, who usually appeared with a laurel wreath in memory of the nymph Daphne who transformed herself into a plant to escape his amorous moods. The plant was named "Daphne".

The International Film Festival of Greece opens its doors to the audience for the forth time to present domestic and international films, video clips and screenplays .

The first edition of the festival took place on 29 and 30 April at Art63 (2023), the second edition on 3d and 4th October at Cine Alimos (2023), the third edition on 27 and 28 January 2024 at Alimos Municipal Theatre "Karolos Koun", and hosted short and feature films from around the world. The festival screened fiction films, documentaries and animations by Greek and foreign directors with free entrance. A significant number of films had their world and European premiere in Greece. Also participating were selected cinematic-themed photographic works exhibited at the Festival on the days of the events.

The Greece International Film Festival aspires to function as a channel of communication between artists, directors, screenwriters and producers of the international and domestic film industry.

A special place in the activities of the GIFF is held by the Competition Department of Greek and International Short and Feature Films, Video Clips, Screenplays, Theatrical Plays, Photography, which supports new works of art to find their way and get to know their audience.

Το Greece International Film Festival άνοιξε για τρίτη φορά τις πόρτες του στο κοινό και παρουσιάσε ταινίες της εγχώριας και παγκόσμιας παραγωγής.

Το φεστιβάλ έλαβε χώρα την 27η και 29η Ιανουαρίου στο Δημοτικό Θέατρο Αλίμου "Κάρολος Κουν", και φιλοξένησε μικρού και μεγάλου μήκους ταινίες απ’ όλο τον κόσμο. Στο φεστιβάλ προβλήθηκαν ταινίες μυθοπλασίας, ντοκιμαντέρ και animation Ελλήνων και ξένων σκηνοθετών με δωρεάν είσοδο. Σημαντικός αριθμός των ταινιών έκαναν την παγκόσμια και ευρωπαϊκή πρεμιέρα τους στη χώρα μας. Επίσης, στο φεστιβάλ συμμετείχαν βίντεο κλιπ, κινηματογραφικά σενάρια, θεατρικά κείμενα και επιλεγμένα έργα φωτογραφίας με θέμα τον κινηματογράφο.

Το Greece International Film Festival φιλοδοξεί να λειτουργήσει ως δίαυλος επικοινωνίας μεταξύ των καλλιτεχνών, των σκηνοθετών, των σεναριογράφων και των παραγωγών της διεθνούς και εγχώριας κινηματογραφικής βιομηχανίας.

Μια ξεχωριστή θέση στις δράσεις του Greece International Film Festival καταλαμβάνει το Διαγωνιστικό Τμήμα Ελληνικών και Διεθνών Ταινιών Μικρού και Μεγάλου Μήκους, Βίντεο Κλιπ, Κινηματογραφικών Σεναρίων, Θεατρικών Κειμένων και Φωτογραφιών, το οποίο υποστηρίζει τα νέα καλλιτεχνήματα ώστε να βρουν τον δρόμο τους και να συναντήσουν το κοινό τους.
