“The most important film ever made on the ‘Cyprus Problem'”, The Divided Island will be in selected cinemas on November 1st.
Two Fresh Productions has released a trailer for their new documentary The Divided Island. Which brings the ‘Cyprus problem’ back into focus. The trailer coincided with the 50th anniversary of Cyprus’s division, which occurred on July 20, 1974. “The Divided Island” is set to release in UK cinemas on November 1st.
Directed by Turkish Cypriot Cey Sesiguzel. And co-produced by Greek Cypriot Andreas Tokkallos, the filmmakers aimed to bring an unbiased and shared understanding of a complex issue. Fostering a narrative towards a peaceful future solution to the ‘Cyprus problem’.
PREMISE
Amidst the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza. The world has largely forgotten the frozen divide that has left Nicosia as Europe’s last divided capital. As a result of the conflict in 1974, the North remains largely inhabited by Turkish Cypriots. And Greek Cypriots in the South. After 50 years of failed negotiations, the issue remains today on whether the Island will ever become reunited.
The Divided Island challenges the often hostile narratives perpetuated by mainstream media. Pursuing truth through deeply personal interviews with individuals whose lives, homes, and country have been torn apart. And the new generation of Cypriots yearning for peaceful reconciliation.
CEY SESIGUZEL
Director Cey Sesiguzel says:
“The subject matters the film deals with are relevant to everyone, regardless if they have any connection to Cyprus or not. Ultimately, I hope the documentary highlights the humanity and complexity of this issue in a way that sparks conversations for generations to come.”
