Camera Zizanio

2022, after two hard years of pandemic and restrictions, finds us trying to find our pace.

But in a world terribly unstable as the consequences of the economic crisis and the increase in poverty,
of an unprecedented environmental disaster and a despicable war inside Europe are unpredictable.

In order to organize our next steps, we are looking for the constants that will be the springboard
for a new beginning.

For us, this constant is the Olympia International Film Festival, which this year completes 25 years of action and from which, shortly after, Camera Zizanio was born.

The Festival’s fourfold theme on which it has been based since its inception is «Child, Peace, Education, Culture». This is the beacon that shows us the way to the future.

And we have a duty to widen this road in all directions. This is why Camera Zizanio puts a special emphasis on international exchanges and collaborations: with the participation of young people from Greece in festivals and film workshops in the world, sending films from Greece abroad, in multinational actions.

And at the center of all efforts is the Mythos Project, the longest-running multinational film laboratory in Europe now in its twelfth year of existence.With these actions we create the conditions for a world of peace, cooperation and creation.

It is with great pleasure that we welcome all our friends from Greece and abroad who will join us at the great celebration of the 25th Olympia International Festival and the 22nd Camera Zizanio.
