YEAST International Student Film Festival 2024

The YEAST International Student Film Festival, organized by the Department of Fine Arts of Cyprus University of Technology in collaboration with the Department of Communication & Internet Studies and the Organisation for European Programmes and Cultural Relations/Creative Europe Desk Cyprus is an international film festival showcasing short student films from around the globe. The YEAST Festival 2024 will be held on 23-25 February 2024.

It is hosted in Cyprus, at the premises of the Department of Fine Arts, Cyprus University of Technology, in Limassol, and wishes to promote independent filmmaking within the community. The festival welcomes submissions from four main genres: Fiction, Animation, Documentary and Experimental, as long as they are of less than 20 minutes, and they have been produced during the student years of the filmmaker(s) and/or the producer(s), during the last three years. 2024 was the first year of the festival, which aims to grow and establish itself in the film student community. This year’s special topic is Urban Transformations. The festival wishes to form a small-but great- filmmakers’ and artists hub within the university premises, the broader city of Limassol, and the wider world.

In the framework of the festival, the Organisation for European Programmes and Cultural Relations, as the Creative Europe Desk Cyprus, will give a presentation titled “EU Funding Opportunities for cultural and audiovisual sector” providing useful information on the funding opportunities of the “Creative Europe Culture & MEDIA” EU programme to the participants and relevant stakeholders.
