Athens International Digital Film Festival (www.aidff.com) and the Art center of Edge Hill University are meeting again to continue their cultural exchange which has started last year. A screening has already been planned, where the audience will have the chance to watch some of the films that have been awarded during the 3rd AIDFF. During the 3d AIDFF in September 2013, a special screening was organized for films created by the Edge Hill University students, especially for the Festival. 
The 3rd AIDFF took place during last September from 1st to 10th with the support of the “City of Athens”. There were more than 250 films from 35 countries, 150 films in the competitive section and various parallel events. AIDFF is one of the biggest Digital Film Festivals in Europe and an established meeting point for artists from around the world.AIDFF’s artistic director, Christos Karakasis, motivated by all the films produced by the very young, feels optimistic about the renewal of cinema culture through the new media.
