The story

Cyprus Film Days International Festival in Nicosia/Limassol

Cyprus Film Days International Festival, the country's official state-backed film festival organised with Limassol's Rialto Theatre, runs each April with an International Competition, a non-competitive Viewfinder section, a dedicated Cypriot National Competition, and a young-audience strand, plus industry networking through Dot.on.the.Map Industry Days connecting filmmakers and producers.

The official international film festival of Cyprus operates as an institution of the country's Deputy Ministry of Culture organised jointly with the Rialto Theatre, giving Cyprus Film Days a governmental backing unusual among film festivals and a structural link to Limassol's historic Rialto venue that anchors its main screenings, typically running for about a week each April across the Rialto Theatre and the nearby Zena Palace cinema.
