"We are especially honoured and proud to have welcomed acclaimed and upcoming industry professionals from across 15 countries from Europe and the MENA region to Limassol, for our fourth edition. Our vision remains to establish this co-production platform as an annual meeting point for professionals from the region and Europe, and to nurture strong connections between them, for the purpose of producing high quality independent films, while celebrating together the universal language of storytelling. Located at a significant geographical crossroads between Europe and the Middle East, Cyprus provides a platform for professionals working in the region, to showcase their fiction feature film projects while promoting intercultural dialogue on the art and business of cinema", Danae Stylianou told FNE.
