Since 2014, the Athens Ethnographic Film Festival – Ethnofest has established a themed section, that focuses on a specific topic every year. This themed section aims at making the Festival accessible to wider audiences and at promoting the educational and reflexive dimensions of ethnographic cinema. This year’s themed section is dedicated to the “refugee crisis” and, more specifically, to the multiple aspects of the reception of refugees and migrants in Europe during the past three years. The themed section “Critical Encounters: the European Refugee Crisis” will be curated by anthropologists Katerina Rozakou and Ifigeneia Anastasiadi.
