The Divided Island

The film is steeped in unbiased passion, a love for humanity in the face of its unabaiting destruction.... Cyprus deserves this film and for that reason it must be celebrated.

It has just walked away from the Cyprus International Film Festival with 2 awards.....strong message for peace and best cinematography......this new genre of films will flow into other divided islands as the support grows.... Ireland....the UK......so many parallels.

I have watched the film 3 times and it moves me each time....another angle is seen tonthe human loss, more questions raised against why the UN continues to be present on a land mass not needing their prescence....job for the boys?

Thought it was so moving and did a brilliant job of voicing both communities' experiences. I left the cinema having learned a lot, but also wanting to ask even more questions and have more conversations within our community, to keep progress moving. I think it's something all Cypriots should watch, so I hope you manage to get it on an on demand service online. Congratulations on this incredible achievement.hought it was so moving and did a brilliant job of voicing both communities' experiences.

The Divided Island is an incredibly powerful documentary focusing on the divided island of Cyprus. The film does an excellent job of exploring the complex history and ongoing divide between the two sides, highlighting the personal stories and experiences that often get lost in political talks. The personal stories were incredibly moving and really brought the issue to life. The visuals and sounds design were stunning. The storytelling was so impactful that I found myself reflecting on it since watching. If you want to get a better understanding of the Cyprus Conflict, I highly recommend checking it out.

This was a well written and directed documentary. As someone who is new to the history behind the division this documentary was eye opening and emotionally compelling. It's clear that the director thought carefully about the storytelling element to ensure empathy was felt throughout the film and by both Turkish & Greek Cypriot communities in particular. It depicts both sides fairly and will have an important impact on both older generations who lived through the trauma as well as new generations to come. Appreciating the past whilst also looking hopefully towards the future, a much needed film.

This outstanding film offers a captivating look into the divided island of Cyprus, delving deep into its complex history and the ongoing challenges faced by its people. It's incredibly educational, presenting insights into a conflict I knew little about, and leaves a lasting impact. While there are emotionally intense scenes that may be triggering, the film skillfully balances them with a strong sense of hope for future generations. The production quality is exceptional, with stellar work by Two Fresh, Director Cey, and DOP Andy. Highly recommended for anyone interested in understanding Cyprus's journey and resilience.
