The screening presented a selection of imaginative films from Greek Students from local primary and secondary with a cinema full of participants and their families eager to see their work on the big screen.

The topic for this year's competition was «Μονάχα τα παιδιά ξέρουν τι ζητάνε», and students proved to be very creative with their interpretations once again.
