WE ACCEPT SHORT FILMS THAT WERE COMPLETED AFTER JANUARY 2023.
The Paphos International Film Festival (PIFF) is an annual festival held every year in Paphos in the Mediterranean island of Cyprus.
PIFF is committed to supporting authentically independent SHORT films and it aims to research, promote and develop the art of independent film making. We support low budget films because we strongly believe that they are worth a chance. PIFF aims to become a platform giving a voice to directors and filmmakers who work with very little but have a lot to give.
The program includes screenings of short films from Cyprus and the rest of the world! Our categories include films up to 20 minutes from Cypriot and International filmmakers, student films up to 15 minutes (both Cypriot and international) and every year we have a special category dealing with a specific issue.
The festival focuses on community, inclusivity and (of course) good times. It aims to travel across borders in order to develop a spirit of friendship and cooperation with filmmakers from Cyprus and from all over the world.
