Animafest Cyprus Views of the World, started in 2002 as a documentary festival in a small village, and was called the Small Documentary Festival. It was later re-named Countryside Animafest Cyprus – Views of the World focusing exclusively on the art of Animated Film. The festival’s uniqueness is its setting in the countryside, and this continues to this day.
As audiences have grown significantly in recent years the festival has moved to different villages to accommodate the large number of spectators and now at the Lusignian Manor House garden located at the The ancient town of Palaipafos.It continues to draw a very diverse audience, from across the social spectrum. The fact that it draws young people from metropolitan areas to previously unknown rural areas we feel is a very important contribution to the country’s cultural life.
Animafest Cyprus is the main platform for Animated Film in Cyprus and has the official support of the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Cyprus and ASIFA Cyprus. The Festival is a co – organization between the Hambis Printmaking Museum & Views of the World. HELLENIC BANK is the official award sponsor for both Cypriot and International Competition.
The festival is active through the year. It’s main activities include «Animafest Cyprus on tour», which presents the best of Animafest Cyprus at various locations around the country throughout the year, including schools, film festivals, cinemas, galleries, etc, always in non-commercial screenings; in the context of Animafest on tour we are organizing Lectures & workshops in animation, taking place at Universities and public schools. Every November we organize an Academic forum on Animation at the Cyprus University of Technology, bringing together academics from Cyprus and abroad. This forum is organised in collaboration with Media Desk Cyprus

O 13º Festival Internacional Anual de Cinema de Toyama acontecerá em junho de 2026 na província de Toyama. Com tanto sucesso nos anos anteriores, estamos entusiasmados em compartilhar mais uma vez as visões de cineastas de todo o mundo com nossa comunidade local no interior do Japão.

O Festival Internacional de Cinema Anual de Toyama (TIFF) começou na prefeitura rural de Toyama, Japão. Começado por alguns professores de inglês da região, esperávamos alcançar pessoas não apenas no Japão, mas em todo o mundo.
O primeiro TIFF aconteceu em uma pequena sala dentro de um shopping center, onde cerca de 70 pessoas assistiram aos 10 filmes que recebemos. O ano seguinte foi um tremendo sucesso, com mais de 100 inscrições de diferentes países, um grande passo em relação ao nosso primeiro ano. O evento foi realizado na cidade de Toyama, em um local local independente, o Bodegas-Mambo, com cerca de 80 a 100 convidados para ver os filmes. Desde então, todos os anos, esperamos expandir ainda mais e oferecer um local ainda maior para os participantes e para a comunidade de cinéfilos no Japão.
Hoje, com mais de 3000 inscrições por ano de países ao redor do mundo, o TIFF se tornou um evento anual muito aguardado e um marco na comunidade internacional de Toyama.
Nota: Devido a limitações de tempo, não podemos aceitar filmes com duração superior a 10 minutos. No entanto, qualquer gênero de curta-metragem será considerado para exibição.
