The 27th Thessaloniki International Documentary Festival (March 6-16, 2025) invites us to embark on a unique cinematic journey in the Greek countryside through documentaries of renowned filmmakers, most of them rare and off the radar. On the occasion of the recent discovery of the documentary Kastoria (1969) directed by Takis Kanellopoulos, a film considered lost up until now, the tribute titled Geography of the Gaze: Off-Plan Greece (1950-2000) lines up 19 documentary films that compose a multifaceted and illuminating portrait of the social, political and cultural life of Greece in the second half of the 20th century.
