The Philosophical Film Festival is a film festival on the crossroads between philosophy and film, which tries to promote the idea of film as a medium that can provoke philosophical thought and illustrate philosophical ideas. The festival screened 40 films, held around 50 events including an educational programme, and welcomed 24 participants at the Second International Conference Philosophy and Film.

This year the festival took place in Skopje 7– 13 June 2024, organised by the Macedonian Philosophical Society with the support of the North Macedonia Film Agency.
