About
Drama International Short Film Festival (DISFF), one of the world’s oldest short film festivals, is Greece’s leading short film festival. DISFF is the annual meeting place for filmmakers and industry professionals. Based in Drama, Greece, the festival runs a six-day schedule in September and its main venues are Municipal Conservatory and Olympia Cinema.
Drama Short Film Festival was first held in 1978 on the initiative of the Drama Film Club. The response of filmmaker, as well as the public was enthusiastic from the very beginning. A few years later, the Festival was adopted by the Municipality of Drama and then, in the mid-eighties, by the Greek State. In 1995, the Festival became International.
The Festival was established in 1978 and it has been a Municipal Enterprise since 1996.
