Open-air Cinema this week in the Ledra Palace buffer zone

[iancrumpy]

Hi guys,

Unfortunately I can't attend, but maybe some of you might like to - the three films are being shown at 9pm on three successive evenings - Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week - at the Home for Cooperation, which is to be found in the Ledra Palace buffer zone.

The H4C is organising this with the support of UNFICYP (United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus). Entrance is free and the films will have English subtitles.

The following comes from Cyprus Events' web site :

June 19th : Limbo, by Norwegian director Maria Sodahl
Synopsis:
A Norwegian woman, Sonia, and her children join her husband in 1970s Trinidad, where he is stationed as an engineer in the oilfields. Sonia soon begins to feel like a stranger in a place where she’s not allowed to be herself but instead has to live the idle life of an expat wife. When Sonia discovers her husband is involved with a Trinidadian woman, her world falls apart and she must find a way to mend it.

June 20th : Fish n’ Chips, by Cypriot director Elias Demetriou
Synopsis: Andy, a hard working Cypriot immigrant in London who deep-fries his way into oblivion, decides to leave London for his native Cyprus. Having slaved away for others his entire life, he finally opens his very own chip shop. But his dream turns into a nightmare, as he seems to have overlooked one small detail: Cyprus just isn't London!

June 21st : Shadows and Faces, by Cypriot director Derviş Zaim
Synopsis: The film is set against the background of the beginning of the conflict between Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots in 1963. A teenage girl is separated from her father, a shadow play master, when the two are forced to flee from their village by escalating violence. Her attempts to find her father are intertwined with the consequences of an ever increasingly oppressive Greek regime. More than mere shadows and faces, characters and situations are presented in their complex depth to create a human drama that is both contemporary relevant and remarkable achievement.
