A date in the autumn with the art of cinema
There is yet another reason to visit Chania every autumn: The Chania Film Festival, one of the most vibrant festivals dedicated to the seventh art in Greece, attracts creators and audiences from all over the world. At the Cultural Centre of Chania and in other screening rooms, you can share the magic of cinema with locals and visitors, in a unique atmosphere of vitality and inspiration.
The human dimension of the festival always remains the focus: It maintains strong ties with the local community, strengthens the participation of locals, and promotes Chania as a cultural centre.
Every year, the festival’s programme offers you films that illuminate social issues, as well as educational programmes for children and young people, workshops, presentations, and meetings with directors. The festival has now become a meeting point for artists, professionals, and travellers, bringing an air of international culture to Chania.
And if you love the arts, you will discover a destination that has a lot to offer, all year round: The Book Festival in June, Dance Days Chania International Contemporary Dance Festival in July, the Chaniartoon International Comic and Animation Festival in September, as well as other events that fill every season of the year with interesting experiences.
It is worth visiting Chania in October, to indulge in the magic of cinema, walk the illuminated narrow streets, and experience the moments born during conversations after the screening, where culture meets human contact.
