Since the launch of its cash rebate in 2018, which covers up to 40 of qualifying expenditures along with 30 in tax relief, Greece has become one of Europe’s hottest filming destinations. But domestic production is surging as well, and the industry reached new heights in 2022, with the rebate scheme supporting 132 international and domestic projects.
Here’s a round-up of some of the top Greek feature films currently in the pipeline:

For a country of 11 million that’s spent much of the past decade lurching from one economic crisis to the next, you’d be hard-pressed to suggest the Greek film industry isn’t punching above its weight. In the span of just a few weeks earlier this year, Rian Johnson’s Netflix blockbuster “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” became one of the streaming service’s most-watched films of all time, while Ruben Östlund’s “Triangle of Sadness” was nominated for three Academy Awards: two splashy productions that were both shot in the Mediterranean nation.

When audiences return for the 63rd edition of the Thessaloniki Intl. Film Festival, which runs Nov. 3-13, many hoping to discover the new wave of up-and-coming local talent might be searching for the next “Magnetic Fields,” the feature debut of graphic artist-turned-director Yorgos Goussis. After riding the success of its 2021 Thessaloniki premiere to sweep the country’s local Academy Awards, the film is representing Greece in the international feature film Oscar race.
Since its modest origins as Greek Cinema Week among movie-lovers in this handsome seaside city, the Thessaloniki event has offered a launching pad for emerging Greek talents ranging from Goussis to Theo Angelopoulos, the towering figure of 20th-century Greek cinema, who premiered his first feature, “Reconstruction,” at the fest in 1970.
Half a century later, Greece is enjoying its brightest big-screen moment since the likes of Academy Award nominee Yorgos Lanthimos ushered in the Greek Weird Wave in the late ’00s.

Photo by Alexandros Petrakis.On the third night of the festival, we walk down a hill past a line of cars, past a fence, and find seats in the nearly full rows of plastic chairs. We face a glowing screen, and behind the screen is an old church that spends its summer hosting a children’s camp, and behind that, a stripe of orange sky that presses up against the flash of Aegean Sea, turning the color blue electric, like a fish you’d need a special type of light to see. At our backs there are three wide rows of cars, presumably tuning their radios to the proper station. In lieu of lights dimming, the sunset fades, and an intro that oscillates between Greek and English sets up the opening three short films we are going to see tonight. The first two are brief romantic memories of a black and white Paris,...

Blue Monday Productions has boarded “Cora,” the feature directorial debut of visual artist and filmmaker Evi Kalogiropoulou, which was awarded at the Rotterdam Film Festival’s CineMart and the Cannes Cinefondation’s Atelier earlier this year.
“Cora” is the story of two working-class women fighting for freedom and their own identity against a dystopian patriarchal society. It follows the director’s short film, “Motorway 65,” which played in competition in Cannes last year.
Speaking to Variety at the Thessaloniki Film Festival, Kalogiropoulou said she drew inspiration for her feature debut during an artistic residency in the working-class town of Elefsina, where local women shared stories about the struggles they faced, especially as recent waves of immigration altered the social dynamic of the community. “For me the biggest question to explore is how it feels for a woman to be working and living in an area with so much contradiction and struggle,...

Greece’s Cora by Evi Kalogiropoulou has taken home the €20,000 Eurimages Co-production Development Award from the 38th CineMart awards ceremony, which was held online. The IFFR Pro awards ceremony (5 February) marked the end of the 38th edition of International Film Festival Rotterdam’s CineMart co-production market, which, for the first time, was entirely digital. Marit van den Elshout, head of IFFR Pro, underlined: “We’ve seen two weeks of interaction and connection with producers in the Rotterdam Lab, project teams in CineMart, filmmakers with films in the festival programme and attending film professionals. We felt the energy transcend the screen and believe we have been able to foster new collaborations that will drive our industry forward.” The international juries handed the five IFFR Pro Awards to some promising film projects. The winner of this year’s Eurimages Co-production Development Award, worth €20,000, is Greek filmmaker and visual artist Evi Kalogiropoulou with her.
This year’s International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR) has named the winners from its industry-focused programs Pro Days and Cinemart, which were held online this year.
A live-streamed event from Rotterdam saw various awards handed out, including the €20,000 Eurimages Co-production Development Award, which went to Cora by Evi Kalogiropoulou, produced by Neda Film (Greece). The jury described the film as “a supernatural drama featuring two unexpected female characters struggling for freedom and identity in a unique and colourful industrial setting”.
The ArteKino International Award, worth €6,000 to be put towards a project’s development, went to A Dutiful Wife by Haolu Wang, produced by Factory Gate Films (China). The Filmmore Post-production Award, worth €7,500 to be put towards VFX and post-production, went to Kabul Jan by Shahrbanoo Sadat, produced by Adomeit Film Ug (Germany), Adomeit Film ApS (Denmark), Wolf Pictures (Afghanistan).
