Admission details and the full program are typically available through the festival's local organizers and Chania cultural listings. The Vlisidis Theatre is located in the city center, making it easily accessible for visitors staying in or around Chania. If you are in the area during this period and interested in independent world cinema, this is a free or low-cost cultural experience worth checking. The festival runs across three evenings, so there are multiple opportunities to attend at least one screening during a short stay.
