SUMMARY:UK Cyprus Film Festival 2026 – London Edition (Part II)
DESCRIPTION:In Memory of Director Irena Joannides \n\n\nThis spring\, the UK Cyprus Film Festival 2026 launches the London edition of its programme at Cyprus House (13 St. James’s Square\, SW1Y 4LB)\, as part of the official cultural celebrations of the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the European Union. \n\n\nThis first chapter of the festival brings together award-winning films by Cypriot women filmmakers whose work speaks with clarity\, sensitivity and courage about memory\, displacement\, identity\, inner life and social constraint. The programme is dedicated to the memory of director Irena Joannides\, whose cinematic voice — poetic\, restrained and deeply humane — continues to resonate within Cypriot cinema and beyond. \n\n\nAcross two carefully curated days\, audiences are invited not only to watch these films\, but to enter into conversation with their creators\, through post-screening Q&As that open space for dialogue\, reflection and shared experience. \n\n\n🎟 Day tickets are available for each date. As seating is limited\, we kindly ask audiences to book only if they are certain they can attend\, allowing as many people as possible to take part. \n\nSunday 26 April 2026 \n\n\nWomen’s Lives\, Unspoken Histories\, Inner Revolutions \n\n\n16:00 – Eleni’s Olives (19’) Directed by Yianna Americanou \n\n\nShot with lyrical simplicity\, Eleni’s Olives is a tender portrait of everyday resilience. Through small gestures and domestic rhythms\, the film reflects on generational memory\, labour and the intimate bonds that sustain life across time. Its quiet observational style allows the personal to become universal. \n\n\n& \n\n\n16:20 – Her Violet Garden (18’) Directed by Irena Joannides \n\n\nA poetic short that distils Joannides’ distinctive cinematic voice\, Her Violet Garden unfolds as an inner landscape — a meditation on fragility\, solitude and emotional endurance. The film’s restrained imagery and delicate pacing speak to the director’s lasting contribution to Cypriot cinema and her ability to express complex inner states with rare subtlety. \n\n\n16:45 – Unwitnessed Memories (60’) Directed by Athena Xenidou \n\n\nBuilt from first-hand testimonies\, Unwitnessed Memories gives voice to those who grew up in the long shadow of 1974. The documentary explores how war\, displacement and silence shape personal identity across generations\, offering a deeply human record of memory\, survival and quiet strength. \n\n\nFollowed by a Q&A with Director Athena Xenidou. \n\n\nShort break \n\n\n18:15 – Pause (96’) Directed by Tonia Mishiali \n\n\nAn award-winning psychological drama\, Pause centres on a woman confronting the confines of routine\, marriage and expectation. With remarkable emotional precision\, the film examines repression\, desire and the cost of silence\, charting an inner awakening that is both unsettling and deeply recognisable. \n\n\nFollowed by a Q&A with Director Tonia Mishiali. \n\n\n\nBooking Information \n\n\n🎟 Tickets are available per day (8 March & 26 April). \n\n\nPlease note that capacity is limited. We kindly ask you to reserve tickets only if you are confident you can attend\, ensuring access for as many audience members as possible.
