AGON International Archaeological and Cultural Doc Fest
Athens, May 2026

CALL FOR ENTRIES

Following the success of the 12th International Archaeological Film and Cultural Documentary Festival – AGON 2024, the organization of AGON 2026 is now a reality! The Festival will take place at the Greek Film Archive, featuring screenings of archaeological films from around the world.

The theme of the Festival encompasses archaeology in its broadest sense: antiquity, the Middle Ages, folk arts and traditions, industrial archaeology, as well as cultural heritage, the creation of new cultures through migration and multiculturalism from antiquity to the present day, and the documentation of worlds that are inevitably disappearing — today becoming the archaeology of tomorrow. The screening dates will be announced in due course.

The 13th International Archaeological and Cultural Doc Fest – AGON 2026 is held with the financial support of the Ministry of Culture, under the auspices of the Region of Attica and the Municipality of Athens, with Archaeology & Arts magazine as media sponsor and supporter, and with the support of the Acropolis Museum.

Submissions will be open until December 30, 2025.
