Following permission by the Cypriot Department of Antiquities and in collaboration with the Cypriot Embassy in Dublin we are happy to announce the presentation for the first time in Ireland of the unique documentary 'Skammata', produced by the Cypriot Department of Antiquities and directed by Danae Stylianou.
Synopsis:
Fifty years after the coup d’etat and the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, foreign and Cypriot archaeologists along with retired staff members of the Department of Antiquities, evoke their personal memories, as they reflect on the collective trauma of war and its consequences on Cypriot archaeology. Interweaving archival material from excavations with captivating personal testimonies, Skammata presents momentous events that marked Cypriot archaeology, before and after the tragic summer of 1974.
