The screening of the film is organized by the Community Council of Aigialousis in collaboration with the Ecclesiastical Committee of the Archangel Michael Aigialousis and the Association of Gialousites and is under the auspices of the Municipality of Sotira.
The film, which premiered worldwide last March at the Thessaloniki Documentary Festival, gives people a chance to speak for the first time since the 1974 invasion, outlining the story of Gialousa, from 1960, the days of extreme rural life, invasion, entrapment. and to this day.
The directors, originally from Gialousa, focus on the people who stayed in the village. "This civilian section of the population is often overlooked in the history effort to record lists of dates and battles," they note.
They carefully chose different ages to see these moments not only through the eyes of mature people, but also through the most special eyes of the child. The stories these people tell us are unique. Not just their experiences, but their looks. Simple, direct, human.
The narration of the documentary is based entirely on these narratives without analysts, historians, anthropologists or other observers of history. We see the people who lived the story themselves.
"Through this effort, we want to preserve from time to time an important story not only for Cyprus, but for all the places where people came face to face with the war," they note. Assuming that the road to a peaceful future necessarily passes through such honest glances at the past and present.
The film was also selected as an official participation in the Alexandria Film Festival last September. It has already been shown by OTE History, and its screening is planned by the Michalis Kakogiannis Foundation in Athens, ERT and RIK.
