Next week’s film summit aims to persuade big foreign producers to choose Cyprus as a location, but it should also boost the island’s own film industry, the Cyprus Investment Promotion Agency (Cipa) and local film directors have said.
A Cipa official said a number of big players will be attending the event, the first of its kind in Cyprus, from October 9 to 12.
“We have invited producers of Hollywood movies who work with big stars like Richard Gere and Morgan Freeman, and the cream of Bollywood, Pinewood Studios from UK, and people from many countries like Germany, Italy, Australia, France, Sweden and others,” Cipa’s senior investment promotion officer, at Cipa Lefteris Eleftheriou, told the Sunday Mail. “There will be a total of 60 to 70 producers from around the world.”
Altogether more than 120 international and local professionals are expected.
