The domestic films from the International Competition will, as usual, compete in the Cypriot Films Competition Section.
The Viewfinder section will present out of competition titles that stood up internationally, while Cyprus Film Days for Children and Youth will screen films for younger audiences.
The programme also includes a workshop about the use of AI in developing film projects, as well as a masterclass by Berlin-based movement director Marie Scherzer.
The 5th edition of Dot.on.the.Map Industry Days, the coproduction, training and networking platform of the festival, will be held 18 – 20 April 2024, and it will include two sections: The Meeting Point co-production forum and Cinema Talks (educational masterclasses, round tables and presentations by established industry professionals).
The screenings from Cyprus Film Days are hosted by Limassol’s Rialto Theatre and Nicosia’s Zena Palace, while the screenings from Cyprus Film Days for Children and Youth will take place this year at K-Cineplex at The Mall of Cyprus.
The festival is co-organised by the Cultural Services of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports and Youth and the Rialto Theatre.
