The first
Syros International Film Festival will be held from August 6-9 2013, drawing on
recent Greek and international films that deal with travel. This theme
encompasses issues that are central both to the history and the contemporary
situation of Syros and Greece
and brings into focus such events as diaspora, immigration, and cultural
co-habitation.
