Open-Air Cinematic Experience
As the gentle breeze from the Mediterranean Sea whispers through Larnaca, a unique transformation occurs along its scenic waterfront. As dusk embraces the town, the quaint seafront morphs into a captivating open-air cinema throughout the warmer months. The Larnaca Cinema Society has launched a series of alfresco film showings that not only already began but will continue to bring joy to residents and visitors alike during the summer season. Set against the backdrop of the glistening ocean, each film night is a celebration of international independent cinema.
The journey of discovery begins at the Pierides Museum courtyard, located just a stone’s throw from the iconic Finikoudes promenade. Every Monday, film buffs gather here to immerse themselves in the diverse world of independent films, at no cost. These curated screenings serve as a prelude to the much-anticipated seaside movie nights, which are slated to occur on three special evenings this summer, offering a unique blend of cinematic delights and the serene ambiance of the sea.
Seaside Screenings Schedule
The inaugural seaside film night is eagerly awaited and is scheduled for next Friday, May 31 at 8.30 pm with Ken Loach’s “The Old Oak”. This compelling English-language film comes with critical acclaim, having been featured at prestigious film festivals globally, including Cannes, and has received a nomination for the Best Film at the Bafta Award (2024). As the silver screen lights up, moviegoers will find themselves nestled on the beach adjacent to Larnaca Medieval Castle, under a canopy of stars.
Mid-summer brings another gem to the shore with the August 9 beachfront screening of “Django”, a film that beautifully captures the life and tribulations of the famed swing musician during the tumultuous times of World War II. The authenticity of the film is retained as it will be shown in its original French language, accompanied by Greek subtitles. Bringing the seaside cinema series to a close is the Greek comedy “Ekei Pou Zoume”, set to lighten hearts on August 30 at 8.30 pm.
