Cultural events scheduled for August 19 in Nicosia and Moniatis

On August 19, 2026, the Cypriot cultural scene features two distinct events in Nicosia and Moniatis. In Nicosia, the Constantia Open-Air Cinema continues its 27th Summer Film Marathon with a 9:00 p.m. screening of the 2024 Indian drama 'Girls Will Be Girls'. The 118-minute film follows the story of a 16-year-old student whose emerging relationship with a classmate is hindered by her traditionalist mother, leading to tension between them.

Conceived by Eleni Papachristoforou, the show offers a journey through Cypriot memories, traditions, and songs, followed by an interactive workshop titled 'The Figure That Remembers'. Both events are part of the broader cultural programming for the day, which includes a mix of cinema and local folklore.
