Animation Festivals Directory

The festival showcases a selection of the world’s latest productions, focusing on independent, non-commercial films. Countryside Animafest Cyprus, the first of its kind in Cyprus, is one of the longest-running film festivals in the country and it’s taking place in the village of Salamiou, a small rural community in the mountainous inland of Paphos. This innovative characteristic of the festival has contributed significantly in the appreciation of independent animation cinema in Cyprus among a very wide audience spectrum and has revitalised many small rural communities around the country.
