The Thessaloniki Film Festival started in 1960 and at the beginning comprised exclusively Greek films. The first years (1960-1965) the festival was called "Week of Greek Cinema". From 1965 to 1991 the festival was called Festival of Greek Cinema and from 1992 became an international film festival as the Thessaloniki International Film Festival. Since 1992, Greek films compete in a different section of the festival with the name Greek State Film Awards. Since 2008, the Greek competition was abolished and remained only the international section of the festival. Today the Greek films compete in Hellenic Film Academy Awards. Below are considered the awards of Thessaloniki Film Festival during the period that only Greek films took part (1960-1991).
