AegeanDocs
Emerging or unverified festival
AegeanDocs is an international documentary film festival based in Greece that has run since 2013 and is known for screening films across multiple Aegean islands, with Mytilene on Lesvos as its main venue. It focuses on documentary work with strong political, historical, and social themes, and is notable for combining screenings with panels, workshops, and masterclasses while promoting important documentary productions from Greece and around the world. Its significance in the festival circuit comes from its regional island network, university collaboration, and role as a forum for documentary exchange in the Eastern Mediterranean.[1][6]
