The 26th French-Speaking Film Festival of Greece is scheduled to commence with the nationwide premiere of the film 'L’etranger' (The Stranger), directed by François Ozon, which is based on the novel by Albert Camus. The festival will run from March 24 to April 1, 2025, at various locations in Athens including the Danaos cinema, with the premiere taking place at the Athens Concert Hall. This year’s festival expands its reach by exploring diverse artistic expressions through cinematography.

A significant new feature of this year's festival is the thematic section titled 'The Arts on Screen', which is a collaborative initiative with the Vassilis and Eliza Goulandris Foundation. This marks the first collaboration between the French-Speaking Film Festival and the Foundation, highlighting not just film but also other art forms, showcasing a series of screenings that feature a variety of artistic themes. This initiative reflects the festival's goal of enriching the cultural landscape and engaging audiences with multifaceted artistic experiences.

The festival not only celebrates French-speaking cinema but also creates a platform for cultural exchange and appreciation of the arts more broadly. With the inclusion of this thematic section, attendees can expect a comprehensive exploration of how visual arts intersect with cinematic expression, solidifying the festival’s role as a vital cultural event in Greece that fosters creativity and collaboration among artists and audiences alike.
