Winning short films

Short films may be small when it comes to screening time but they are big when it comes to cultural value. This is why the International Short Film Festival of Cyprus (ISFFC) will celebrate the official World Day of Short Film on Wednesday with the screening of the award-winning films of ISFFC – which were announced in October.

This original cinematic event will be hosted at the Market of the Old Town Hall of Nicosia, in the heart of the city, on the shortest day of the year. Screening will take place from 6pm until late and mulled wine, zivania and barbecue from the group of Serial Grillers will be served.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
