The 17th Iris Awards were hosted at the Onassis Stegi, with acclaimed presenters Zeta Makrypoulia and Thanasis Alevras, under the direction of Zacharias Mavroeidis. Just a few months before Athens hosts the prestigious European Film Awards in January 2027, the Greek film community made a strong and visible statement of its presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his opening speech, Hellenic Film Academy President Lefteris Charitos mentionned: \u201cAmong this year\u2019s nominees we have many debut works by new filmmakers and more women than in previous years across all award categories. Our films continued their successful run at the most important international festivals, confirming the growing international recognition of Greek cinema. At home, Greek audiences showed that they still seek the magic of the big screen, with ticket sales continuing their upward trend in the post-COVID era\u2014and with the remarkable commercial success of several Greek films, something we had not seen in many years. Beyond the outdated divide between artistic and commercial cinema, Greek filmmaking is beginning to display an unprecedented diversity, with new distribution opportunities emerging. Our community faced the difficulties of recent years with courage, demonstrated resilience and determination, and demanded that the state treat it with a seriousness commensurate with its cultural and economic role.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The evening\u2019s biggest winner was the film <em>Patty Is Such a Girly Name<\/em> (<em>Poly Koritsistiko Onoma to Patty<\/em>), directed by George Georgopoulos, which won seven awards, including Best Feature Film, Best Director, and Best Screenplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to <strong>Pantelis Voulgaris<\/strong>. Lefteris Charitos spoke with deep affection and respect for the filmmaker, \u201cwhose work spans the modern history of our country, and whose perspective on the political, social, and profoundly existential identity of the Greek people has produced a body of work rich in characters who experience historical truth in an honest and cinematically accomplished way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The award was accepted on Voulgaris\u2019s behalf by his friend and collaborator Christos Paligiannopoulos, as the director was unable to attend. \u201cPantelis asked me to convey his gratitude to the Hellenic Film Academy and to his fellow filmmakers. I would like to share a phrase he told me: \u2018Everything I created, I created for the relationships between people and for the sound of their conversations.\u2019 And I would add that he did so with boundless love for cinema,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The awards in the 22 categories were presented (in order of presentation) by: Daphne Chairetaki &amp; Nikos Kolioukos, Orestis Andreadakis &amp; Achilleas Kyriakidis, Aris Kontos &amp; Konstantina Kalouta, Olympia Kragasaki &amp; George Georgiou, Giannis Petridis &amp; Pavlos Pavlidis, Klelia Renesi &amp; Antonis Myriagkos, Melia Kreiling &amp; Aeneas Tsamatis, Despina Maroulakou &amp; Olympia Mytilinaiou, Kallia Papadaki, Matthijs Wouter Knol, Aphrodite Panagiotakou, George Tsemberopoulos, Anna Hints, and Vicky Krieps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Iris Awards 2026 \u2013 Winners<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Feature Film<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Patty Is Such a Girly Name<\/em><br>Producers: Stefanos Koutsardakis, Christos V.
