New releases, music events, a multi-dimensional parallel programme, workshops and much more compose this year's programme of the 12th edition of Cyprus Film Days- International Film Festival 2014. The festival will take place at the Rialto Theatre and Zena Palace Cinema from the 4th to the 13th April 2014.

The Festival, which is the official feature film festival of Cyprus, aspires to become a meeting point for cinema professionals from the three continents surrounding the island of Cyprus, by exploring the limits and perspectives of cinema today. Cyprus Film Days has been established as the most successful film festival which promotes the feature fiction film in Cyprus, bringing international cinema closer to the local audience.

The Festival is co-organised by the Cultural Services of the Ministry of Education and Culture and Rialto Theatre, and aims to promote international and Cypriot cinema, support and screen the films of emerging directors alongside established names of the cinema scene.

The two main festival programmes are the international competition programme Glocal Images and the non- competitive section entitled Viewfinder. All the films included in Glocal Images and Viewfinder programmes are Cyprus premieres.

The selection of films and programming of screenings and parallel events, is undertaken by a three-member Artistic Committee, consisting of Adonis Florides (film director), Dr. Costas Constandinides (Film Scholar), and Constantinos Sarkas (Journalist).

Viewfinder showcases films that have been awarded throughout the festival year and have been selected for screening according to criteria set by the Artistic Committee. Their common characteristic remains their approach to creativity and the advancement of critical thought.
