The Greek State Film Awards (Greek: Κρατικά Βραβεία Κινηματογράφου) was a part of Thessaloniki International Film Festival concerning exclusively Greek movies. It was one of the most important events in Greek cinema, from its institution in 1992 until 2008. In 2009, during the 50th Thessaloniki Festival, the Greek filmmakers decided to boycott the awards. The awards were subsequently abolished by a bill of the Ministry of Culture. It has since been replaced by the Hellenic Film Academy Awards.
