The Thessaloniki Documentary Festival – Images of the 21st Century celebrates its 15th anniversary and honors the highly creative, cinematic, socially-committed and constantly evolving art of the documentary by presenting a collection of beloved films that epitomize the Thessaloniki Documentary Festival from its inception until today.

The selected documentaries challenged perceptions, exposed truths, entertained, provoked fruitful dialogue and helped shape the Festival character, playing a formative role in its journey throughout the past 15 years. Many of the both acclaimed and neophyte filmmakers that made the films attended the Documentary Festival, to present and discuss them with the Thessaloniki audiences, enriching the viewing experience and providing valuable insight. The anniversary tribute is named 15 Festival Years: a Fascinating Journey. In Addition, a special tribute to the Chilean documentary film director Patricio Guzman is planned. He will be at Thessaloniki, in order to meet his audience.
