Diomides Nikita, Cultural officer of the Cinema Section of the Ministry of Education and Culture, will be the representative from Cyprus within the EFP network.

Dr. Elena Christodoulidiou , the Chairperson of the Cyprus Film Committee and Head of the Cinema Unit at the Cultural Services of the Ministry of Education and Culture said in a statement, “Due to the small cinematographic volume of production and language restrictions, Cypriot cinema needs more boosting in order to cross the national borders and find co-producers from other European countries. Therefore, we strongly believe that Cyprus' participation in EFP´s various programmes could build more bridges and synergies between Cyprus and other European cinema professionals that will help Cypriot cinematography to blossom and travel far beyond its narrow geographical borders.”
