Overview
The CYPRUS FILM DAYS International Festival is the official international film festival of Cyprus and one of the island’s leading cultural film events. Held mainly in Limassol, it is notable for its Glocal Images international competition, its Cyprus-focused national section, and its curation of Cyprus premieres, award-winning festival films, and programs for children and youth. It is significant in the regional festival circuit because it promotes independent and contemporary cinema from Cyprus and abroad while serving as a meeting point for filmmakers and audiences from the broader Eastern Mediterranean region.
