This year’s theme, ‘We’re Not Really Strangers’, is centered on human relationships and our connection to one another.
The programme’s 17 short and feature films put the notions of solidarity, empathy, and compassion at the epicenter. Through different stories, each film tackles a different aspect of relationships and human connection and all combined, they weave a tapestry.
With the world facing turmoil and environmental phenomena that have shaken everyday life, with Santorini being no exception, the time to reevaluate our priorities and values is now.
Therefore, we chose this theme to be the main message of the Santorini Film Festival 2025, with the title of this year’s programme, ‘We’re Not Really Strangers’, serving both as a statement and a kind reminder to everyone.
