AVICOM Awards Greek Museum of Byzantine Culture Film with Gold

AVICOM, ICOM’s (International Council of Museums) International Committee for Audiovisual and New Technologies of Image and Sound, has awarded Greece’s Museum of Byzantine Culture (MBP) for its film titled “Return” during the International Audiovisual Festival on Museums and Heritage (FIAMP) in November.

The people behind the award-winning film: Agathoniki Tsilipakou, MBP director, archaeologists Evangelia Aggelkou and Antingoni Tzitzibasi, directed by Giorgos Skandalaris, scenario by Panos Kassaris and Skandalaris, music by Nikos Doulamis and produced by DES Production.
