Discover the GreekDocs of the 10th Edition of Beyond Borders in Kastellorizo

  10th BEYOND BORDERS KASTELLORIZO INTERNATIONAL DOCUMENTARY FESTIVAL
24th-31st August 2025

The Beyond Borders / Kastellorizo International Documentary Festival (24–31 August 2025) dedicates its 10th anniversary edition to Greek documentary, with a special focus on contemporary creation and production. This year, the festival highlights the trajectory of Greek documentary – a cinematic genre that confronts reality, documents it, comments on it and reimagines it. It functions as a kind of cinematic loom, where past and present are woven together to create a narrative tapestry that extends into the future.

Strategic Partner of Beyond Borders is PPC Group (Public Power Corporation), the leading energy company in Southeastern Europe, which actively supports the arts and culture. As an integral part of the country’s social and economic fabric, PPC strengthens its dialogue with culture and creativity, supporting all those who lead us into the future — a future where culture takes the lead in shaping a better world for all.

Four Greek productions are competing in the Main Competition Section, while three Greek films are featured in the μicro Competition Section. Major works by Greek filmmakers that have shed light on hidden aspects of society and history will also be screened in the festival’s non-competitive section, Panorama. Additionally, a Masterclass on Greek documentary will be delivered by Angelos Kovotsos, President of the Greek Documentary Association, alongside an information session organized in collaboration with the Hellenic Film and Audiovisual Centre - Creative Greece, focusing on the Greek Audiovisual Extroversion Program. The event addresses both the general public and industry professionals, aiming to strengthen the presence of Greek audiovisual creation both in Greece and internationally.
