Cypriot film community denounces Cyprus-Israel partnership

The ratification of a film co-production agreement between the Republic of Cyprus and Israel is condemned by 100 individuals from the Cypriot film industry. This condemnation was organized by the network Film Workers for Palestine – Cyprus, under the call titled “No to the exploitation of cinema as an alibi for whitewashing the genocide of Palestinians.” The individuals opposing this agreement express their concern over the use of cinema to whitewash the actions of the state of Israel and its government against Palestinians.

Limassol street art celebrates Cyprus nature

Italian artist Francesco Camillo Giorgino, known as Millo, is creating eight large-scale murals in Limassol, Cyprus, as part of the Art Square project. These murals, which are being painted on buildings under construction, aim to become a new landmark for Limassol and contribute to the city’s bid to become the European Capital of Culture 2030. The murals, which depict the beauty of Cyprus’s nature and its people, are expected to be completed by April 6. This project marks Millo’s third in Cyprus, following previous works in Yeroskipou in 2022 and Paphos in 2017. Millo’s work is characterized by bright colors, black and white line drawings, and large faces, and can be found worldwide, including in permanent museum collections.
