The collaboration of the 23rd Athens International Film Festival with the 10th International Animation Festival + Agora – Animasyros is yet another cinematic friendship which will take place at the Onassis Cultural Centre!
Given the collaboration between these two beloved Festivals, fans of animation and digital arts will have the chance to enjoy a special artistic project which is the result of a cultural dialogue between Italian and Greek artists. They will also enjoy a unique animated film for adults characterised by its allegorical nature.

JOINT SCREENING between the Athens International Film Festival & Animasyros
It is with great joy that we announce our joint screening of the imaginative animated film “My Entire Highschool Sinking Into the Sea” (USA, 2016), directed by Dash Shaw.
Following a strong earthquake, a high school breaks away from the mainland and starts drifting in the Pacific Ocean. Susan Sarandon, Lena Dunham, Jason Schwartzman and John Cameron Mitchell lend their voices to this adult animated allegory about American modern-day society, beautifully illustrated with crayons, markers and watercolour. A must-see for animation fans!
This screening is part of the Special Screenings section of the23rd Athens International Film Festival . The date, time and location will be announced at the Festival's Press Conference.
The film will also be screened as part of the 10th International Animation Festival + Agora – Animasyros in the Feature-length Animation International Competition Section in Syros
