Cyprus on the international filmmaking map

Cyprus is on the map of international filmmaking, attracting grand events and film festivals.
 
CNA has learned that, in this direction, an important agreement was recently signed between Screentale, a new company with representatives from Cyprus, and world-renowned Tribeca Enterprises NY, which belongs to Robert de Niro.
 
The film star’s company organises one of the most important film festivals in the world, Tribeca Film Festival, based on south Manhattan, in New York.
 
This festival was established in 2002 and today attracts personalities of the seventh art and millions of cinema aficionados from all over the world.
 
Tribeca Enterprises press office confirmed to CNA that “we are in exploratory conversations with Screentale about live entertainment events they are considering creating to take place in Cyprus.”
 
According to a Screentale representative, who has been working for years on this large project, the company aspires to become a successful international institution, which will promote Cyprus globally.
 
“This is the right time for Cyprus to welcome the greatest names in the world from the field of entertainment and technology. Our aim is for Cyprus to become a top destination both for art and technology alike. We expect that this vision will give impetus to all the services sectors and will positively influence this generation, as well as future generations,” the Screentale representative said.
 
According to CNA sources, the Tribeca mission will be in Cyprus from November 13 to 15 for meetings, including government officials, mayors and the US Embassy in Nicosia.
