Open-air cinema Nicosia, Constantia Open-Air Cinema, 9pm. The 27th Summer Screenings Marathon runs every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday until September 13. Tonight’s film is the award-winning dramatic comedy “Dj Ahmet” by Georgi Unkovski. Fifteen-year-old Ahmet herds his father’s sheep in the mountains of North Macedonia while also looking after his younger brother. What he really dreams of, though, is music, which serves not just as a backdrop to the story but as the language through which a teenager tries to define himself against a world that has already written his future for him. The film is a reminder that the strongest form of resistance is often not a shout, but the persistence of sticking to your own rhythm, even when everyone around you is trying to drown it out. Running time: 99 minutes. 22348203 Zanatzia Square, Souni-Zanatzia (outside the “To Politistiko” café).
