The Hellenic History Foundation (ID.IS.ME.) aspires to make the “Beyond the Borders” festival an annual event which will present important history documentaries from all over the world. “Beyond the Borders” Film Festival aims to promote significant Greek and foreign documentary makers, which focus on history and socio-political issues.
