The event is part of the Cultural Program of the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the European Union in 2026.

The establishment of “Panorama” as an annual event represents a significant step toward strengthening the presence of Cypriot cinema in Greece. Through the screening of both feature-length and short films, the diversity, aesthetic boldness, and thematic maturity of contemporary Cypriot cinema are highlighted. At the same time, the Greek audience is offered the opportunity to discover both the new trends and the roots and paths that have shaped and continue to shape our cinematic expression and identity.

As part of the 2nd Panorama, selected films produced in Cyprus and Cyprus-Greece co-productions will be screened, which have participated in or been honored at major film festivals in Cyprus, Greece, and abroad.
