Cyprus Film Days International Festival

21st Cyprus Film Days International Festival 21 – 29 April 2023 Rialto Theatre, Limassol – Zena Palace, Nicosia Amidst an atmosphere of renewal, the much-anticipated celebration of Cinema is set to take place between the 21st and 29th April 2023. Cyprus Film Days International Festival 2023 preserves its legacy yet makes a brand-new start with its newly-appointed duo of artistic directors, introducing a new visual identity and featuring a diverse programme of events. This 21st edition will be hosting its audience before Rialto Theatre’s screen in Limassol and Zena Palace’s in Nicosia, presenting an innovative and socially-engaged programme of film screenings. Organised by the Department of Modern and Contemporary Culture of the Deputy Ministry of Culture and the Rialto Theatre, CFD showcases a diverse range of top-notch independent films unveiling the artistic vision of talented film directors, while providing fresh opportunities to local and international film professionals. This year, the line-up and parallel events have been curated by CFD’s newly-appointed Artistic Directors, Argyro Nicolaou and Marios Lizides, filmmakers and educators. The target they have set is to build upon the already successful course of Cyprus Film Days in an attempt to make the festival a reference point for the wider region. At the same time, they propose “a festival of creative encounters that will embrace social awareness, nurture the discovery of new talents, and encourage open discussion”. This year’s selection includes world-acclaimed productions in the ‘Viewfinder’ section, as well as an inclusive ‘Glocal Images’ international competition section, which additionally incorporates Cypriot productions and co-productions. Moreover, the line-up proposes a number of special screenings, as well as the ‘Cyprus Film Days for Children and Youth’, and the co-production, training and networking platform 'Dot.on.the.Map' for its 4th edition. To name just a few, Cyprus Film Days will be screening Aftersun, the directorial debut of Scottish film director Charlotte Wells (nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor), as well as the bold and daring EO by Polish director Jerzy Skolimowski (nominated for an Academy Award for Best International Feature).
