International Short Film Festival of Cyprus

The International Short Film Festival of Cyprus (ISFFC) is the official competition festival for short films in Cyprus. It showcases outstanding short films with narrative, animated, experimental or documentary original content. With a developing presence in the short film scene, the ISFFC has become an ever growing festival for shorts in the Eastern Mediterranean region. Both established as well as emerging filmmakers have the opportunity to present their films on the big screen to a wide audience.

This year the ISFFC showcases two German short films. The Goethe-Institut Cyprus supports the 10th ISFFC and invites you to the screenings of these two short films:
