NOSTALGIA DELLE CITTÀ PROIBITE
by Pasquale Misuraca
Three portraits/selfportraits of the Cypriot cities of Kerinia, Nicosia and Ammochostos. Images and sounds voiced over with the verses of the Greek Cypriot poets from each of these "forbidden cities": Rina Kastelli and Kerinia, Costas Montis and Nicosia, as well as Kiriakos Charalambides and Ammochostos. The term - "forbidden cities" refers, of course, to the fact that these cities have been occupied militarily by the Turks and, except for Nicosia, cut in half and therefore doubly forbidden. One side is forbidden to the Greek Cypriots, and the other side is forbidden to the TurkishCypriots. And twenty two years have already passed by.
