The Amorgos International Film Festival is an annual four-day event co-organized by the Cultural Women’s Association and the Municipality of Amorgos island in Greece.
Its first edition was in 2010 during the 8th YPERIA Convention of Culture and Tourism, and it is held ever since on an annual basis, presenting hundreds of new films every year.
Short films are a good opportunity to showcase the cultural and environmental wealth of each region.

The Festival has daily projections during the 4 days of conducting it, at Aegialis Hotel & Spa where it takes place, and in 4 different points on Amorgos island, so all inhabitants and visitors can have easy access to the films.
