The event will take place at the CFPA Garden in Nicosia and is free to the public, including members and collaborators. The programme was curated by ISFFC artistic directors Diomedes Koufteros and Keti Papadema. It features four internationally recognized short films from Cyprus, Lebanon, Portugal, and Sweden that explore themes of identity, youth, sexuality, and relationships.
