Organized by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Translation, in collaboration with the European Commission Representation in Cyprus, the Centre for Social Innovation, and the Film Festival on Diversity, the festival aims to explore what happens when cinema speaks many languages through short films telling shared stories. The programme unfolds across September 22, 23, and 24, marking the European Day of Languages.

Screenings are held across various city locations, including the EU House, Eleftheria Square’s open-air amphitheatre, and Gardens of the Future. The opening night on September 22 typically begins at 6:30 PM at the EU House, featuring films from Spain, France, Italy, and Ireland. Subsequent evenings typically start at 7:00 PM.
