The opening film of the 28th TiDF is a timely documentary Ask E. Jean (international premiere) on Elizabeth Jean Carroll, who sued Doland Trump for sexual assault and defamation, being the only woman to ever beat him, and twice as a matter of fact, in a courtroom. The film’s director Ivy Meeropol will honor the screening and the opening of the Festival with her presence.
The Festival gives the opportunity to four producers from Greece, who have participated in the Festival’s industry section, Agora, to travel to the top industry event, the European Film Market (EFM) of the Berlin Film Festival, in order to promote their work. The Festival’s outreach activities are carried out with support from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF).
