In 2014, films such as Jules Dassin’s "The Rehearsal" on the Athens Polytechnic Uprising were programmed alongside films on contemporary issues. Examples of the latter films were the "Enemy Within", directed by Yorgos Tsemperopoulos and Alexandros Avranas’ "Miss Violence", both of which criticise patriarchal norms. The Festival also screened in 2014 "All Cats are Brilliant" by Konstantina Voulgaris, a family drama situated in a society in crisis. Similarly, in showing films addressing contemporary problems in Greece, the Festival screened in 2017 the film entitled Amerika Square, directed by Yannis Sakaridis, which addresses contemporary racism in Greece.
