Father-land

Synopsis

Interweaving the directors’ lived experiences of present-day Nicosia with their memories as children whose fathers served with the RAF in Cyprus, FATHER-LAND explores notions of home, loss and displacement in the politically charged space of the UN Buffer Zone, the demilitarised strip that has partitioned the island since 1974.
