Additionally, on May 17, the documentary When the Swallows Are Silent, directed by Giorgos Avraam and Konstantinos Patsalides, will be shown at the historic Danaos cinema in Athens. The film was completed with financial and logistical support from the Deputy Ministry.

Among the highlights is the Cypriot film Dodekameron/Motherwitch, directed by Minos Papas and produced by Konstantinos Nikiforou of Caretta Films. A joint production with North Macedonia and the United States, the film has earned a spot in the Cannes Frontières Buyers Market—an event held alongside the festival as part of the official Marché du Film.

Another film is YES, directed by Nadav Lapid. Backed by the Deputy Ministry of Culture and co-produced by Cypriot filmmaker Marios Piperides of AMP Filmworks, the film is slated to debut globally in the Cannes program Quinzaine des Cinéastes.
