Today, on Saturday, June 1, the first edition of the international short film festival "Lost World" begins in Paleochora. The name of this event is a direct reference to the location of Paleochory - a village located between the mountains and the sea in the area of Crete, which is still outside the mainstream of mass tourism. According to the organizers, this event will also be one of the European festivals that will take place in the most southern point of Europe.
It is a completely free event, during which for five consecutive days there will be screenings of short films from various parts of the world from such countries as: Scotland, Great Britain, Turkey, Denmark, Brazil, Greece and many others. The main evening projections will be implemented within the main market at the city hall. During the day, the program of this festival will be supplemented with film screenings that will be screened in the Peral Cavo bar.
The internationality of this festival is not only the fact that the films come from various parts of the world, but also that each of the productions that will be shown will be accompanied by English subtitles. Most people, both tourists and local residents participating in this event should not have problems understanding the content provided in the films.
