The Divided Island will see be shown for the first time at Arthouse Crouch End on 26th October before a nationwide release in November
The premiere of a film tackling the “Cyprus problem” will take place in Crouch End next month.
Directed by Turkish Cypriot Cey Sesiguzel and co-produced by Greek Cypriot Andreas Tokkallos, of Two Fresh Productions, The Divided Island aims to bring an “unbiased, shared understanding of a complex issue” and foster a narrative “towards a future peaceful solution to the Cyprus problem”.
The filmmakers will host a premiere of The Divided Island on 26th October at Arthouse Crouch End, followed by a release in selected cinemas on 1st November. The project was announced in July to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the partition of Cyprus.
Cey and Andreas state in their announcement of the film: “The Divided Island challenges the often hostility-driven narratives perpetuated by mainstream media, offering instead a pursuit of truth through deeply personal interviews – from those whose lives, homes, and country were torn apart, to the new generation of Cypriots yearning for peaceful reconciliation.”
