Staying true to its annual spring tradition, the French Language Film Festival of Greece (FFF24) returns tomorrow for its 24th edition in Athens, Thessaloniki, Patras, Larissa, Chania, Kavala, and Kastoria, running until April 10.
With a carefully curated selection of forty-six feature films and 11 short films, the festival invites audiences to immerse themselves in a cinematic journey featuring French-language productions from Belgium, Luxembourg, Canada, Switzerland, and even Greece, alongside France.
Paris Sans Clichés: A Tribute to Paris
In anticipation of the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris this summer, commemorating 100 years since the city hosted its first Olympic Games in 1924, FFF24 shines a spotlight on the French capital with the tribute “Paris Sans Clichés” (Paris without Clichés), offering a multifaceted view of the city.

Paris Sans Clichés invites us to rediscover the ever-evolving reality of Paris, a city intricately intertwined with the “seventh art.” Serving as the backdrop for countless French and foreign films, this tribute showcases six carefully selected classic and contemporary films, each offering a unique perspective on Paris’ journey and evolution over the past century.

Special recognition is being accorded to the “ENS Louis-Lumière” school for its significant contribution to the training of sound and image technicians since 1926. As recipients of the Carte Blanche, the festival highlights films in which graduates of the school have actively participated, alongside a series of meetings, screenings, photo exhibitions, and roundtable discussions, all of which reflect the school’s expertise and educational impact.
