Antoinetta Angelidi is a pioneer of avant-garde cinema in Greece. She studied Architecture in Athens, Film Direction and Editing at the Institut des Hautes Etudes Cinématographiques (I.D.H.E.C.) in Paris, and Film Theory with Christian Metz. Her corpus includes four full-length fiction films – “Idées Fixes / Dies Irae (Variations on the Same Subject)” (1977), “Topos” (1985), “The Hours: A Square Film” (1995) and “Thief or Reality” (2001) –, as well as several short films and visual installations. Her work has been screened in international film festivals and contemporary art museums, as well as in theatres and national television. She was a professor of film direction in the Film School at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, and also taught at the Universities of Patras, Thessaly and the Aegean. A retrospective tribute to her work as a whole was included in the 46th International Thessaloniki Film Festival, where she was given the Honorary Golden Alexander Prize.

It is organized by the Thessaloniki Film Festival under the auspices of the Greek Ministry of Culture. It features international competition sections, and its program includes tributes to major filmmakers and national cinemas, as well as sidebar events such as masterclasses, exhibitions, live concerts and workshops. In addition to TIFF, the Thessaloniki Film Festival holds the annual Thessaloniki Documentary Festival (TDF) in March.
