The Cyprus Film Days International Festival is celebrating its 20^th anniversary with a selection spanning three main programmes. The largest international film event on Cyprus will take place in the physical presence of the audience from 8-16 April, in its usual venues in the country’s two biggest cities: at the Rialto Theatre in Limassol and the Zena Palace Cinema in Nicosia. As at previous editions, the artistic part is managed by a three-member artistic committee, consisting of film scholar Dr Costas Constantinides, director-producer Tonia Mishiali and director-producer Marios Stylianou.
