TIFF65 Official Spot “Scared?”

The Thessaloniki Film Festival commissioned filmmaker Meni Tsilianidou to direct the trailer of the 65th Thessaloniki International Film Festival.

Meni, who graduated from the Film School of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, co-directed the short film Small Talk with the Bad Man (2020), screened in more that fifteen international film festivals and lauded with three audience awards, and directed the film Driving Me Crazy (2024), which premiered at Drama ISFF’s National Student Competition and gathered three awards.

As the filmmaker notes on the spot Scared?: “In real life we grow up earlier that we should. However, in the world of cinema, we never grow up.”
