On Sunday, August 4, the Hellenic Club of Canberra was the latest location of Kay Pavlou’s national screening tour for her documentary ‘Two Homelands.’
The event was hosted by the Cyprus Community of Canberra President Nectaria Volis.
“It was an emotional and heartwarming documentary. I was pleased we could have Kay in attendance and hear the journey of her making the program,” Ms Volis said after the screening.
Both a commemoration of war and a celebration of community, the audience identified with the resilience of their fellow Cypriots. A lively discussion followed about the history and current status of the ‘Cyprus problem.’
Antonis Sammoutis, the High Commissioner of the Republic of Cyprus in Australia, in anticipation of the upcoming United Nations negotiations, said “the best commemoration for us is to find a solution.”
Also in attendance was Military Attache of the Greek Embassy, Colonel Ioannis Fasianos and the new Deputy High Commissioner of the Republic of Cyprus, Nikos Varellas who began his post less than one week earlier.
Upcoming screening dates for Two Homelands are:
- August 11 at the Cyprus Community Club of NSW from 3pm
- August 24 at the Mercury Cinema in Adelaide, South Australia from 7pm, hosted by the SA Minister for the Arts, Andrea Michaels
- September 17, 18 and 19 in Cyprus at the K Cineplex in Nicosia, Larnaca, Limassol and Paphos
