This a new series of critiques concentrated on Cypriot short films. The aim is to draw connections from the short films, their form and content, to the society and politics. Additionally the aim is to bring out Cypriot short films and hopefully aid the short film scene to develop and grow.
The aim of the series is not to judge the films in terms of ratings of better and worse, nor I am interested in the technical aspects of the films, but to encourage new perspectives to these works that can tell a lot about the society we live in and to ignite critical dialogue. It is all written from a perspective and experience of an international filmmaker in the Cypriot society and thus is far from objective.
The first film in the series is Scratch from Paris Erotokritou.
