About this Event
The UK Cyprus Film Festival 2026 opens its London programme with a powerful double screening exploring journey, return and the emotional landscapes of memory. Through two feature-length films by Cypriot women filmmakers, this opening day invites audiences to reflect on place, belonging and what it means to go back physically, emotionally and historically.
Both screenings will be followed by in-person Q&A discussions with the directors.
14:30 – Roads and Oranges (100’)
Directed by Aliki Danezi Knutsen
Rooted in landscape and lived experience, Roads and Oranges traces emotional and physical journeys across Cyprus, where place becomes inseparable from memory. Drawing on everyday encounters and intimate observation, the film reflects on movement, belonging and the subtle ties that connect people to land, history and one another.
Followed by a Q&A with Director Aliki Danezi Knutsen.
17:00 – The Last Homecoming (82’)
Directed by Corina Avraamidou
A powerful meditation on return, The Last Homecoming explores what it means to go back not only to a place, but to a past shaped by absence, loss and unresolved memory. Through a deeply personal lens, the film confronts the emotional weight of homecoming and the quiet transformations it brings.
Followed by a Q&A with Director Corina Avraamidou.
