This year, Greece is traveling to the Cannes International Film Festival with its forces united. The Hellenic Cinema Center (EKK) and the National Center for Audiovisual Media and Communication (EKOME) are coordinating their activities at the National Pavilion, which will operate at the Festival from 6 to 17 July 2021. Their joint presence, proof of the strategic cooperation of the two organizations for dynamic national representation in important international Festivals and Markets, aims to further highlight the comparative advantages of Greece in terms of attracting international audiovisual producers.

Costa-Gavras’ film “Adults in the Room”, based on the same-name best-seller by controversial former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis, will debut at this year’s Cannes film festival.

The culture and sports ministry and Deputy Digital Policy, Communications and Media Minister Lefteris Kretsos were among those that sped to congratulate Greek film director Vasilis Kekatos on Sunday, after his film "The Distance Between Us and the Sky" unanimously won the Palme d'Or for best short film at the 72nd Cannes Festival on Saturday.
