As summer loosens its grip on Limassol in early September, the courtyard of Friends of the Earth Cyprus becomes an unlikely open-air cinema for three consecutive evenings. From 9 to 11 September 2026, Backyard Screenings returns with a programme of short films and documentaries grouped around three distinct themes — plastic pollution, Palestine, and urban life — each evening running from 20:00 to 22:00 and inviting audiences to sit with ideas long after the credits roll.
The concept is deliberately low-key and community-rooted. There are no multiplex trappings here: just a backyard, a screen, and a curated selection of films chosen to provoke thought and conversation. Each night stands on its own thematically, so attendees can come for one evening or all three — though the €5 contribution covers the entire run, making it one of the more generous cultural offers in the city this autumn.
The contribution is collected at the door, and registration is available in advance for those who want to secure their place. The venue — the Friends of the Earth Cyprus courtyard in Limassol — lends the event an intimate, grassroots quality that larger festival settings rarely achieve. Bring a light layer for the evening air and expect to leave with something to think about.
Backyard Screenings sits at the intersection of cinema, activism, and community gathering. It is well suited to anyone curious about documentary storytelling, environmental issues, or simply looking for a meaningful way to spend a warm September night in Limassol.
