Kay Pavlou’s ‘Two Homelands’ documentary to be screened in Melbourne

·

After an emotional screening in Yarraville in Melbourne’s inner West in November 2024, director Kay Pavlou is taking TWO HOMELANDS in February 2025 to the northern suburbs of Melbourne where many Greeks and Cypriots reside.

51 years after the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, TWO HOMELANDS is both a commemoration of war and a celebration of community as six senior Australian Greek Cypriots give emotional eyewitness accounts of the cost of war, their migration to Australia and their desire for peace for all Cypriots. As diaspora, they speak of having their heart in two homelands.

Both screenings of TWO HOMELANDS – Saturday, February 15 and Sunday, February 16 – will be preceded by short film GHOST TOWN and followed by a Q&A with Pavlou.

Northcote’s MP Kat Theophanous, born of Greek Cypriot migrants, will be introducing the screening on February 15th at 4.30pm at Thornbury Picture House.

“For so many of us, the journey of migration is more than just a story – it’s embedded in our identity. TWO HOMELANDS captures the resilience and hope behind these journeys. It reminds us of homes left behind, of new beginnings, and of the strength of our spirit,” Ms Theophanous said.
