The Cyprus Film Days International Festival is gearing up to unveil its 21st edition, which features a number of changes. As the largest international film event in Cyprus, it will take place from 21-29 April at its usual venues in the country's two largest cities: the Rialto Theatre in Limassol and the Zena Palace Cinema in Nicosia.

This year's line-up and parallel events have been carefully selected and organised by the festival's newly appointed artistic directors, Argyro Nicolaou and Marios Lizides, who are both filmmakers and educators. Their goal is to build upon the success of previous iterations of Cyprus Film Days and establish the festival as a reference point for the wider region. They aim to create “a festival of creative encounters” that embraces social awareness, nurtures the discovery of new talent and encourages open discussion. Their vision is to offer a cinematic experience that engages all the senses, highlighting different lifestyles, emotions and narratives, and encouraging viewers to see life from a fresh perspective.
