The 16th International Short Film Festival of Cyprus (ISFFC) is hosting a summer screening at the Molos Amphitheatre in Limassol on Thursday, 10 July 2026, beginning at 20:30. The event is free and open to all, though all films are unsuitable for viewers under the age of 18.
Five films from last year's festival selection return for a single evening -- comic, poetic and unsettling in equal measure. All screenings are in the original language with English subtitles. The event is held in collaboration with Limassol Municipality.
The programme
Fish River Anthology (Mereneläviä) | Veera Lamminpää | Finland | Fiction & Animation | 10'
At the fish counter of a supermarket about to close, a handful of customers stand in a queue and wait. The wait becomes an occasion for existential reflection and spontaneous song. Lamminpää combines live action and animation in a work that balances humour and humanity.
Nikos' Long Walk | Andreas Sheittanis | Cyprus | Fiction | 25'
Two men with nothing in common decide to climb a mountain together to shout. Cypriot director Andreas Sheittanisexplores friendship, despair and the human need for release through a road trip that becomes something far greater than it first appears.
Unreal Estate Agent | Bodhi Le Belle | The Netherlands | Fiction | 12'
Jos is desperately searching for a home. During a house visit, the unexpected happens: the estate agent is accidentally killed. Bodhi Le Belle constructs a dark comedy that sharply skewers the madness of the property market.

Erwan has only one thing on his mind: get to school and tell Agathe he loves her. The problem is that he shares his medical transport van with David, who has plans of his own. A tender and comic film about rivalry, difference, and the small heroic acts of everyday life.
What If They Bomb Here Tonight? | Samir Syriani | Lebanon | Fiction | 16'
