A NEW video-based website has been created that aims to offer support to the arts and culture of Cyprus. As part of its launch party, KiprosTV is hosting a special screening of various short films showcasing the works of local artists, musicians, theatre groups and other related subjects.

Kipros.TV will go live on the internet on the same day as its launch party on March 24. As Michael Kalopedis, founder of KiprosTV, notes: “Through the use of video and online technologies, KiprosTV aims to document, showcase and support such efforts in our local community, as well as to make them known on an international level.”

KiprosTV does not charge a fee to the featured artists and organisations for the video production services and for being included on its website. The content is also free for all those who would like to visit and watch the videos online.

The event will take place at Apothikes (behind Saint Lazarus Church) in Larnaca. Doors open at 7.45pm and entrance is free. Screenings start at 8.30pm after a live music performance by Tat-Tnabar, a Cypriot based band known for creating their own instruments such as trumpets made from carrots.
