CUCKOO at Thessaloniki

CUCKOO goes Thessaloniki

Very happy to share that the Greek Premiere of CUCKOO will be at 65th Thessaloniki International Film Festival.

Almost exactly 2 years ago, FICTION PARK had it’s first festival screening at TIFF 63.
The World Premiere of BEHIND THE HAYSTACKS by Asimina Proedrou, who came home with six awards, the beginning of an incredible journey.

For our little bird it will be the last two late screenings in 2024 which mark a no less impressive journey.

Berlinale recently wrote that CUCKOO perfectly embodies the eerie, thrilling, and mysterious vibes of the spooky season.

Happy Halloween!
