The Thessaloniki Documentary Photo exhibitions at the warehouses

Awards Ceremony held Saturday 15th at the Olympion concluded an 8 day long festival that screened over 150 films to a crowd of about 40 000, despite extreme weather conditions (strong sun that got all crowds on bar terraces...) The final ceremony concluded with a poignant screening of the documentary "as seen through these eyes", about drawings and paintings from children in the concentration camps.Party followed at the Santé Bar

My first day at the Thessaloniki Documentary festival. The city is a BIG city but leaves a nice impression of easy going life, festival smooth operation, sunny competition for dark rooms...  Let's walk together through the main festival location, with press office, festival offices at the Olympion, along with screening rooms, the Green Room: festival bar and central meeting point The Doc Market is located across  the street. The strange posing  statutes on the central place were set up for carnival a few weeks prior the festival.
