AegeanDocs International Film Festival
AegeanDocs International Documentary Film festival is funded by the Regional Development Funds of the North Aegean Region, with the support of University of the Aegean. The materialization of the production has been assigned to the non – profit cultural organization “Historical Documentary”, headed by Kostas Spiropoulos who is also the Artistic Director of AegeanDocs Festival.
The Festival entails social, political and cultural documentaries, confronting history more as an analytical tool of the contemporary society within the dimensions of the present and the past, and less as an academic vocation focusing only in the past. AegeanDocs Festival presents well known and Oscar- awarded creative documentaries of the western culture, but also of “the other side of the border”, that is from countries like Turkey, or regions like Africa or the Middle East. In the next years, AegeanDocs Festival aims to expand its programme to travel documentaries, art documentaries and student films.
