An accessible meeting place about tomorrow’s possibilities in today’s world

ENTREPRENEUR OF THE YEAR 2020 - The Dúplex Cinema in Ferrol was founded in 1996 by the Álvarez Rodríguez family in a working-class neighbourhood, two minutes from the city centre. Back then, the city had a population of around 83,000, considerably more than the 68,000 remaining in 2019, reflecting a steady population decline resulting from the dismantling of the naval sector since the 1990s.

BEST PROGRAMMING 2020 - Located in the heart of Thessaloniki, Northern Greece, Olympion is a lively cinema hub, housed in a landmark six-floor building complex. Designed in the 1950s by French architect Jacques Mosset and renovated in 1997 when Thessaloniki was the European Capital of Culture, it is one of the most iconic venues in the city.
