EcoFocus Film Festival in Athens Continues Through Sunday

The mission of EcoFocus is to inform and inspire audiences about environmental issues through film. Our primary activity is the annual film festival, which features engaging and often award-winning films from around the world presented with dynamic speakers, panel discussions and events. Films selected for EcoFocus reveal the planet’s beauty and the environmental challenges facing this and future generations, and highlight inspirational stories about people working to protect the environment and its inhabitants.
