ABOUT

The Little Islands Festival is a celebration of audio-visual arts that originates from Sikinos and aspires to connect more and more small Greek islands.  An open space for meeting and creative interaction that brings together the Aegean landscape with contemporary culture and the dynamics of new media.

Like every small island, we want to be part of the place but also part of the journey. That is why we support artistic creation that seeks new places and ways of expression, while at the same time highlighting the tangible and intangible cultural heritage, uniqueness and strength of small communities around the world.

Our program hosts a wide range of projects that bear the characteristics of the digital medium, including: installations, projection mapping, A/V performances, VR, site specific art, music, video art, animation, short films, documentaries, and workshops.

In collaboration with artists experimenting with contemporary audio-visual media, we foster dialogue to decentralize artistic creation, encourage the exchange of ideas and knowledge, and actively support interaction between place, artists and visitors.

LIF is, ultimately, a contemporary multidisciplinary festival that reclaims public space and creates new landscapes on old sites.
