As Peter Polycarpou, celebrated Greek Cypriot actor commented last year, 'The 1st Cypriot Film Festival was a wonderful evening that brought both sides of the Turkish and Greek Cypriot community together through moving image and the arts'.


After a sold out festival last year, The 2nd Cypriot Film Festival is back again at The Phoenix Cinema, in East Finchley on Sunday the 16th of December 2007, from 1.30 until 6.30pm, showcasing a selection of award winning Cypriot short films followed by the UK Premier of the first ever Cypriot feature film to be screened at the Venice Film Festival, Akamas. We are also delighted to welcome the director of the film, Panicos Chrysanthou who will be opening the festival.
