Parallel Events

The Argo Film Festival, though in its first year, successfully incorporated numerous youth initiatives, including a Movie Seminar, a Video-Spot Anti-Smoking campaign, live music, Greek and American comics, and a photography booth.  The Movie Seminar introduces a step-by-step thinking process a beginning film-maker should start with to take the most professional approach to film-making.  Experts speak about the fields of producing, acting, directing, writing, and cinematography.  The Video-Spot Anti-Smoking Campaign was created in collaboration with The University of Thessaly for Greek youth to film two-minute spots on the dangerous effects of smoking.  The competition allows the first place winner's spot to air on national television as a social message.  Additionally, festival stands were placed in cine Achillion's lobby to promote fresh new bands, Greek and American comics, talented photographers, etc.  We will work hard to broaden our parallel events and promote more artists, musicians, film-makers, and photographers.
