The Cultural Section closes the UK Cyprus Film Festival at Cyprus House with Stelana Kliris's Find Me Falling, the director and Agni Scott present for the questions afterwards.
Stelana Kliris was born in South Africa to Greek Cypriot parents, from Louvaras in the south of the island and Rizokarpaso in the occupied north, and has been making films since 2002. Find Me Falling is the one that changed her position: she wrote, directed and produced it, shot it entirely in Cyprus in English, and it became the first Cypriot film to premiere on Netflix, which put an island production in front of an audience no Cypriot feature had reached before.
The film runs a hundred and seventeen minutes and is built on love, belonging and second chances. The conversation afterwards turns on the harder subject beneath it: how an independently made Cypriot production reached an international audience at all, what that cost, and what the island’s film-makers are supposed to do next with the precedent.
The Cultural Section of the Cyprus High Commission screens it at Cyprus House on Sunday 20 September 2026 as the London closing gala of the UK Cyprus Film Festival, with Kliris and the actress Agni Scott in the room. Doors are at half past three and the screening at four, followed by a wine reception. Admission is free, with booking required. The festival is the Cultural Section’s own, and this is the night it closes on. Agni Scott has worked in Greek and Cypriot cinema for two decades.
