The story

Protaras Summer Film Festival in Protaras

Protaras Summer Film Festival, organised by Paralimni Youth, runs free outdoor screenings across roughly three weeks from late July into early August at Protaras Central Square, using the biggest cinema screen in Cyprus. Themed nights mix classics with contemporary films, often accompanied by live music and filmmaker question-and-answer sessions.

The biggest cinema screen in Cyprus stands not in a multiplex but outdoors in Protaras Central Square, where the Protaras Summer Film Festival, organised annually by Paralimni Youth, has grown into the largest outdoor film festival on the island, running free of charge across roughly three weeks from late July into early August.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What distinguishes this festival is its scale within a free, community-organised format: the largest cinema screen on the island, run by a youth organisation rather than a commercial operator, with free entrance sustained across roughly three weeks of themed nightly programming

02

The mystery stays covered

Direct filmmaker question-and-answer sessions bring local and international directors into conversation with a free general-admission audience, a level of access uncommon at festivals of comparable technical scale and duration
