Simultaneously, the third edition of the ‘Neighbourhood of Cine Volos’ festival, organized by the MITOS Centre for Performing Arts, takes place in western Limassol from November 4 to 8. The festival, themed around 'journeys and routes', includes theatre, music, and the screening of the documentary ‘Cutting Through Rocks’ by Mohammadreza Eini and Sara Khaki. Additionally, the 7th ‘es giin enalian Kypron’ International Literature and Poetry Festival is underway in Nicosia, Lemythou, and Galata from November 4 to 7, bringing together over 40 creators to discuss new voices and international collaborations.
