Premiere screening of Cypriot documentary film Skammata

A significant documentary film for Cyprus titled Skammata directed by Danae Stylianou will be screened in Nicosia and Limassol soon. The film’s premiere will be held on Tuesday, September 24 at the Nicosia Municipal Theatre and has free entrance for all.

Next month, the documentary film will also be screened at the Rialto Theatre in Limassol while a large programme of screenings in other parts of Cyprus is in the works and will be announced shortly.

The documentary film is set in the present day, 50 years after the coup d’etat and the Turkish invasion of Cyprus. Foreign and Cypriot archaeologists along with retired staff members of the department of antiquities, evoke their personal memories, as they reflect on the collective trauma of war and its consequences on Cypriot archaeology. Interweaving archival material from excavations with captivating personal testimonies, Skammata presents momentous events that marked Cypriot archaeology, before and after the tragic summer of 1974.
