Free the kitsch Athens Film Fest was created in 2021 in Athens by a group of filmmakers, programmers, designers, artists and performers with the aim to combine film and fashion and create a strong independent artistic community that presents its works in an annual base.

Free the kitsch is more than a film festival: it is a 3-day celebration that brings together the most contemporary, edgy, experimental, underground aspects of film, fashion, performance and visual arts and presents a program full of screenings, installations, performances, workshops, talks, parties and, of course, an extravagant Catwalk that takes place the last night of the festival.

During its first two editions, more than 110 classic and contemporary films from 28 countries were screened and more than 50 local fashion designers and models were presented.

The festival is organized by the team of filmmakers and curators Interferences, the art space KINO 28 and the collective KeramoLab in Athens.
