Action successfully organised the first Foundation Film Festival, a unique 3-day cultural event featuring “La-Dee-Dah Nights”, on behalf of the Andrey & Julia Dashin Foundation. Throughout the festival, hosted July 8th, 9th and 10th, the audience had the opportunity to get together and enjoy classic movies from Russian, English and Greek cinema with a live music programme by local artists, all set in a romantic ambiance under the stars and against the magical backdrop of Limassol’s glistening sea. The aim of the festival was to promote multiculturalism in Cyprus, while at the same time supporting the Cyprus Anticancer Society’s Evagorion Palliative Day Care Centre in Limassol. The funds raised from sales of summer cocktails, snacks and drinks but also from donation boxes in the event area, reached a total of 4,000 EUR.
