Kalamata ShortDocs

The main event takes place in Kalamata, Greece, every January. Special events, masterclasses, retrospectives, educational screenings, seminars and so on are part of the festival.
Films are presented to the public at monthly screenings when they are judged as "official selections" by a three-member jury and the audience chooses the winners. Monthly winners are considered to be "semi-finalists" for the annual event.
