Parallel Events
Parallel activities in the frames of the AEI Film Festival
In each edition, the AEI Film Festival carries out parallel cultural activities of various interests. Since 2018, the Festival has been educating children and young people, imparting knowledge and bringing people closer to the culture and history of Cyprus.
