IMMF 2018 - INTERNATIONAL SECTION
While organizing the 8th Micro μ Festival, we decided for the first time to include in our program short films from international film makers.
This year, the International Section of IMMF is finally on view. On Sunday, 14th of October, the audience on Athens, Thessaloniki, Chania, Patra, Xanthi, Tripoli and Alexandria will watch a sneak preview of twelve short films from France, Denmark, Egypt and Spain.
With this selection, we would like to honor the countries that participate in our network on IMMF 2018, as well as prepare our announcements on the closing ceremony.
Stay tuned.
