Film Clubs

The Friends of Cinema Club was founded in 1991, taking over from the two cinema clubs that had been operating in the capital for the previous decade and renewed their mandate to offer Cypriot cinephiles a quality, alternative selection of films that escape the narrow confines of commercial, Hollywood cinema. Since its establishment, the film club has been holding regular screenings with tributes to directors, film waves, and award-winning art-house cinema.

The Larnaka Cinema Society is a voluntary, non-profit organization, founded in 1979. Its mission is to promote the art of cinema and contribute to audience development within the local community through screenings and lectures.

For over 50 years now, the Limassol Cinema Club has been a cornerstone of the city’s cultural scene, offering weekly film screenings that celebrate the best of European and world arthouse cinema. By forging partnerships with both local and international cultural institutions, they bring a diverse range of critically acclaimed, non-mainstream films to Limassol’s theatres.
