About Us

Simos Panayi is the founder and organiser of the Cypriot Film Festival in London. After a sell out success at last year's first UK Cypriot Film Festival that Simos set up, it returns this December showcasing the latest, most cutting edge film talent from the Cypriot community. Simos gained a BA in Marketing and Advertising at the London College of Communications in 2003 followed by a specialist Multimedia Course at the prestigious Collage Arts Centre in London, where he gained expertise in Events Management and Public Relations.

Simos also has experience working for Blazinstar Experiential Marketing Agency, where he worked on the marketing campaigns for some of the biggest brands in the UK including 02 and Hovis, amongst many. Simos organised the first Wood Green Jazz Jam where local jazz aficionados and jazz pros were able to jam together. This inspired Simos to be the first to create a Cypriot film festival in the UK where he can combine his passion for film with that of bringing the Cypriot community together through the arts.

Simos has also worked with various talents such as a film director, writer, web designer, graphic designer to help promote and make this event a success. If you have a similar project and would like to work with us, please do drop us a line, we would like to hear from you.
