  • We were very happy to take part in the first edition of Famagusta Film Festival with our short film "Furias".

    The festival showed genuine care for filmmakers and created a warm, thoughtful space dedicated to cinema and cultural exchange. Communication throughout the process was always kind and professional, and it was wonderful to see such passion behind a new festival project.

    We are grateful to have been part of the festival’s first year and look forward to seeing it continue to grow in the future.
