Now seeking
aspiring actors and presenters for Opening & Closing Ceremonies CYIFF – CYPRUS
INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

Cyprus International Film Festival is now happy to promote more young talent
with our new Acting and Presenting division

The European Year of Volunteering is both a celebration and a
challenge. It is a celebration of the commitment of millions of people in
Europe who work in their communities during their free time without being paid
– for example in schools, hospitals, and sports clubs, protecting the
environment, culture, providing social services and helping people in other
countries. Their efforts and those of the many thousands of volunteering
organisations make a huge difference to our lives in countless ways. The world
would be much worse off without volunteers! The EYV is also a challenge to the
three-quarters of the European population who do not do any volunteering.

We, in Cyprus International film Festival, would like to celebrate once
more and show to everybody that they can also make a difference by inviting you
to join our enthousiastic organising team of professional volunteers since the
year of its inauguration, 2006!
