Savefrag was founded in Athens, Greece by the creative producer Dafni Kalafati in 2008. 

 

Savefrag is committed to creating documentaries and films that matter- giving voice to vulnerable groups and shading light to unspoken themes. In order to achieve its goals Savefrag collaborates with a wide range of upcoming creative professionals from Greece and abroad who are willing to try innovative narrative tools and outreach strategies. Savefrag also organizes a range of educational activities and workshops of visual literacy for youth, because it believes in the power of the visual image as communication and as a tool for social change. Savefrag has co-produced several award winning films together with Arte, Zdf, Ert, Antena, Sky TV and currently is co-producing with Filmiki S.A the creative documentary Kastro Unbound- the sensitive portrait of a Syrian activist.
