Opening with Nomadland & performance by SEASON Women at the Rialto Theatre
This year’s edition opens with the Cyprus premiere of the multi-award-winning Nomadland, directed by Chloé Zhao. The opening ceremony will begin with a theatre performance by SEASON Women directed by Magdalena Zira. Influenced by the current developments and the “MeToo” movement that has shaken our society these past months, the performance illustrates in a poignant and humorous way the patriarchal trends within the film industry. Directed by Magdalena Zira, the performance takes place in collaboration with SEASON Women, starring Varsia Adamou, Nedi Antoniadi, Valentinos Kokkinos, Ivi Nicolaidou and Polyxeni Savva.
