Submissions now open for the first-ever International Pontian Film Festival

The festival is being created with support from the other federation youth committees, such as those in America, Canada, Europe and Russia, as well as the World Pontian Youth Coordinating Committee.

Its goal is to showcase, through short to long-length films, the rich culture of the Greeks of Pontos, whilst also bringing together people from the worldwide community to take place in a historic moment in time.

Anyone who has created a film on the Pontian-Greek heritage and culture, is in the process of making one or wants to make one, is encouraged to submit their creation to the I.P.F.F.

The submissions link opens September 2, 2020, through to November 27, 2020. Any films that are submitted need to be 10 to 45 minutes in length and must be focused on Pontian culture and heritage. There are no age restrictions.

Viewing of the films will take place online from December 17 – 19, dependent on submissions.
