Bitter Lemons

H+O Films

I was Film Editor on this film, as well as co-director with Adnan Hadzi.

Bitter Lemons is an observational documentary about a friendship that survived against the odds over 30 years of separation. It provides a unique local perspective on the largely forgotten conflict in Cyprus, which became part of the European Union in 2004, from people who have lived with the consequences of this conflict, the memories, the minefields and the barricades, since 1974.

Bitter Lemons is a tale of failed narratives, traumatic testimonies and political stagnation, but also of resilience, humour and enduring friendship in spite of all.
