Art & literature - ZFD

An annual Festival between three categories of professionals: 1. Screenwriters and Directors, 2. Publishers and Producers and 3. Distributors. The main purpose of this meeting is to create space where writing is prominent amongst the participants and networking is productive. More specifically, the ideal outcome of the Festival is to promote the writing of adapted screenplays based on books/ novels for the production of television series. The program includes meetings with producers and distributors from America and Europe; screenwriters, directors and publishers from the Balkans, Greece and Europe. These meetings are open to the public, with priority given to students of film and fine arts schools as well as young artists. The Festival also includes an online competition through the Film Freeway platform, with a special jury and awards ceremony. Zagori fiction days is a collaboration between the land beyond and the French non-profit Series Balkans. ALLB activities, of speech or of art, are held every year by a well-known author, artist or teacher, of a specific quality or capacity. The activity lasts for 4 days and requires the commitment of the participants in an intense program of writing and reading.

With excellent company, guided tours of the old stone bridges and traditional villages of Zagori, tastes of gastronomy and, if we want, short hikes in the National Park of North Pindos.The activity promotes learning, literacy, quality and culture, in a unique natural landscape with the aim of cultivating creativity and the imagination.

A series of book presentations have also taken place in Belgium as part of the ALLB project.
