CinePoems Cyprus Festival launches its first edition in 2025,
as part of the Poetry Moves International Festival.

Dedicated to the fusion of poetry and moving image, this new platform invites poets, filmmakers, video artists, and performers from around the world to explore poetry through film.

EACH YEAR, THE FESTIVAL WILL PRESENT A DIFFERENT POETIC THEME!

    I was delighted and honored that my film "The Pelican of the Wilderness" was selected for this amazing festival! Although I wasn’t able to attend in person, communication with the organizers was excellent, and they did a great job promoting the event on Facebook. Overall, I got the impression that it was truly a wonderful event. Many thanks again to the entire festival team — I wish you much success with the future editions!

    I am happy that our film "The way of a Red" was the winner (out of 13 films selected for screening) of this edition of the festival. Everything was professional, precise, and respectful from the festival officials. I wish the festival all the best in future editions.
    Sincerely
