Cyprus hosts a variety of cultural events from August 27 to 30, headlined by the 2nd Larnaca Festival. Organized by the Larnaca Cinema Club, the festival begins at the Municipal Garden on August 27 with an 8:00 p.m. concert by the Aurora String Quartet, directed by Artemisia Vasiliou. This is followed by a screening of the film "La Belle Epoque," starring Daniel Auteuil and Fanny Ardant, which depicts a man’s journey through historical re-enactments. Elsewhere in Nicosia, the Constantia Summer Cinema offers screenings featuring the life of Caravaggio.
