Beginning in 2015 PPIFF is also pioneering a site-specific visual-audio arts residency based at NAOUSSA OR LEFKES

While PPIFF is international in scope, it takes place within the local context of PAROS; with  5 indoor and outdoor Theatres.

PARk, NIREAS, REX, ARCHILOGOS, TAOS CENTER

The festival works to bringing the local into conversation with the international and universal.

Both traditional and re-purposed spaces around  PAROS are used for screenings in an effort to bring attention to the island’s rich historical, cultural and architectural past and present.

In the years to come,  PPFP aims to make PAROS a destination for film and visual art in Greece and the broader region and PARIS a welcoming city for Greek artists.
