The time has come 🎬 🦐

📣The 9th edition of the Santorini Film Festival is here!

From 3–5 July, join us at Cine Kamari for three days of independent cinema, conversations, and stories from around the world.

This year’s theme, “ONCE MORE WITH FEELING,” celebrates cinema’s remarkable ability to return to familiar territories and reveal something new each time.

Our 2026 programme brings together films that reconstruct reality in unique ways. Through different voices and cinematic languages, they explore relationships, identities, places, and bonds that resist easy conclusions. Some are tender, some restless, some playful, some devastating.

To do something once more is never to do it the same way. Every screening is a return—where emotions are reawakened, images are rediscovered, and stories find new meaning with every audience.

Rather than offering conclusions, we invite you to embrace the process of reimagining. Sit with the echoes, welcome the unresolved, and immerse yourself fully in the cinematic experience.

Once more, with feeling.
