Wild Parties for Rewilding 🌱

With your support, 300 native trees and plants were introduced on Patmos, contributing to ecosystem restoration and erosion prevention.

Funded through the tickets of the AegeanFF’s parties, the initiative is rewilding Koumas Hill with @communityoftrees2012, with native forest species sourced from Vasilakos Nursery.

A heartfelt thank you to our partners and team members: Lea, Alexis, Babis, @communityoftrees2012, Municipality of Patmos and Mayor Nikitas Tsabalakis @tsabalakis, @pernera_vegan_patmos, I.

Join our mission and help us reach a target of 3000 trees planted in Patmos by 2030. We need your help! Please visit aegeanff.com/housekeeping/

Με τη στήριξή σας, φυτεύτηκαν 300 αυτόχθονα δέντρα και φυτά στην Πάτμο, συμβάλλοντας στην αποκατάσταση του οικοσυστήματος και στην πρόληψη της διάβρωσης.

Η πρωτοβουλία χρηματοδοτήθηκε από τα έσοδα των εισιτηρίων των πάρτι του AegeanFF, και αποσκοπεί στην επαναφύτρωση του λόφου Κουμάς σε συνεργασία με το @communityoftrees2012, με αυτόχθονα δασικά είδη που προέρχονται από το Φυτώριο Βασιλάκου.
Ευχαριστούμε θερμά, τους συνεργάτες και τα μέλη της ομάδας μας: τη Lea, τον Αλέξη, τον Μπάμπη, το @communityoftrees2012, τον Δήμο Πάτμου και τον Δήμαρχο Νικήτα Τσαμπαλάκη @tsabalakis, το @pernera_vegan_patmos, τον Ι. Κοκόνη και τη Dynamic Transport, το @billis_patmos_rental, τον Οδυσσέα, τον Glen και την Angela, την Ελένη, τον Ουρανό και πολλούς άλλους.

Συμμετάσχετε στην αποστολή μας και βοηθήστε μας να επιτύχουμε τον στόχο των 3000 δέντρων που θα φυτευτούν στην Πάτμο έως το 2030. Χρειαζόμαστε τη βοήθειά σας! Για περισσότερες πληροφορίες επισκεφθείτε την ιστοσελίδα aegeanff.com/housekeeping/

Best VR/Immersive Seahorse Award:ITO MEIKYŪ
In this 2025 immersive selection, one experience stood out for its unique art direction and its ability to offer audiences a new and radical form of audiovisual storytelling—using space itself as a narrative structure. Inspired by classical Japanese literature and traditional hand-drawn animation, this work invites the viewer into a mysterious labyrinth of memories, sensations, and dreamlike architecture. The first Aegean Festival Prize for Best Immersive/VR Experience was awarded to ITO MEIKYŪ by Boris Labbé.

Audience Awards - Documentary - KATWE by Nima Shirali

In the Ugandan town of Katwe, a long-abandoned salt factory stands as a symbol of broken political promises and deep-rooted corruption. Despite pledges to lift the community out of poverty, profits from the salt lake vanish into the hands of powerful middlemen. Amid political manipulation and religious devotion, locals like Abooki struggle to survive—she supports her three daughters by harvesting salt, her livelihood tied to every grain she can sell. The film paints a vivid portrait of exploitation, resilience, and daily hardship in a post-colonial context.

Audience Awards -Fiction - ANYWHERE ANYTIMEby Milad Tangshir

Our audience voted for Anywhere Anytime by Milad Tangshir as their favourite from this year’s selection. Issa, a young undocumented immigrant from Senegal living in Turin, loses his job and begins working as a food-delivery rider for “Anywhere Anytime,” finding brief freedom and control in his new role. However, when his bike—bought with all his savings—is stolen, his fragile stability shatters. Desperate, Issa scours the city to recover it, in a modern-day homage to Bicycle Thieves.

Best Aegean Short Film presented by ERIS PRESS @eris.press: VIRUNDHU (Intl. Title: THE FEAST)

For its visual and narrative mastery, the strength of its actors’ performances, and its ability to tell an original story that reminds us of our deep emotional connection
to the natural world — and all that we lose when we destroy it — the jury awarded the Best Aegean Short Film award to The Feast (Virundhu) by Rishi Chandna.

Jury Special Mention: DIE LETZE WETTE (Intl. title: THE LAST BET)

For its very precise mise-en scène, its dark humour and upbeat pace, The Special Mention for the Aegean Short Film was awarded to DIE LETZE WETTE directed by Meike Wüstenberg.

Sustainability Award, given by the festival team: Trinitario - On the Edge

The Sustainability Award honours a work that not only highlights environmental issues, but also uplifts stories of resilience, wisdom, and connection. This year’s
recipient does exactly that, with beauty, honesty, and care. It is a film that offers a grounded, empowering narrative about sustainable living and shows how
generational knowledge and harmony with nature can shape not only the future of farming, but also the future of community. Upvoted by our festival team, the Sustainability Award was given to ‘Trinitario – On The Edge,’ a documentary short by Denise Speck @bydenisespeck.

to the natural world — and all that we lose when we destroy it — the jury awarded the Best Aegean Short Film award to The Feast (Virundhu) by Rishi Chandna.

Jury Special Mention: DIE LETZE WETTE (Intl. title: THE LAST BET)

For its very precise mise-en scène, its dark humour and upbeat pace, The Special Mention for the Aegean Short Film was awarded to DIE LETZE WETTE directed by Meike Wüstenberg.

Sustainability Award, given by the festival team: Trinitario - On the Edge

The Sustainability Award honours a work that not only highlights environmental issues, but also uplifts stories of resilience, wisdom, and connection. This year’s
recipient does exactly that, with beauty, honesty, and care. It is a film that offers a grounded, empowering narrative about sustainable living and shows how
generational knowledge and harmony with nature can shape not only the future of farming, but also the future of community. Upvoted by our festival team, the Sustainability Award was given to ‘Trinitario – On The Edge,’ a documentary short by Denise Speck @bydenisespeck.
