The Olympia International Film Festival for Children and Young People and Camera Zizanio is more than an annual event held every December in Pyrgos.  It’s a continuous film event (with film workshops, screenings, seminars, educational trips etc) throughout the year.

Cinema undrer the stars!

The 2nd Port Festival is taking place at Katakolon (Pyrgos) from 29 to 31 July 2014 with popular greek and local bands and a lot of parallel cultural activities.

Both young and old visitors of the booth will have the opportunity to create their own stop motion short stories through a “magic” box.

Summertime, and the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’ and the cotton is high
Your daddy’s rich, and your momma’s good lookin’
So hush little baby, don’t you cry

One of these mornings, you’re gonna rise up singing
Then you’ll spread your wings and you’ll take to the sky
But till that morning, there’s a nothin’ can harm you
With daddy and mammy standing by
