Murataga,

You said the film was censored. You never explained in what way it was "censored". For your information-after a bit of search this film AKAMAS was on stage from Saturday 24 March. So it seems it was a profitable film and the owner of Pantheon in fact had it on stage for 2 performances every night until last Thursday. Look here for evidence:

It is more than obvious the owner of the film did not pay the producer and had legal claims against the film itself.
Since the film proved profitable, I have no doubts it will be on air once again after the owner pays the producer.

@Zan: In case you have ANY KIND OF EVIDENCE the Eokas killed people inside ANY church then show it to us.

He can do anything he likes my friend as long as he is not financed and not oblidged to satisfy any boss.

@Murataga,

For me censorship means either
a)Cut this, cut that, until only half the film stays. The financer simply asked for a change of specific scene. The producer did not accept so in the end there was ABSOLUTELY NO CENSORSHIP.
b)Declare the film illegal for presentation. Nothing like that happened. The film was on stage for many nights, many people saw it, it will be on stage once again after the owner pays the producer.

Anyone of course may translate the events to suit him. I just stated FACTS.

Cencorship can be easily be framed to look like it is part of a legal process, clearly as in this case. Hence the producer rightfully asks:

But the producer questioned why the other side had waited until now to make their move and why they had not seized other assets belonging to the company if money was the issue.

This is a crystal clear proof of the intolerance of the racist and illegal GC administration and displays how far they are willing to go with their agenda.

Oh man! Could you please stop acting like a person on a mission belittle the GCs? If I was you I would complain about the fact that many GCs don't know exactly what happened in Tohni and not for a legal dispute between a producer and a financer of a film. For gods sake! I don't give a shit if some eoka scum killed a GC in a kafenes or in a church - the fact is that these thugs murdered numerous people just because they were left and organised in unions. The places these people were killed is irrelevant to me.



Many people and especially the left have organised campaigns in the past in order to educate young people about what actually happened between 1960 and 1974.

This is what the producer says... It is just HIS opinion. We don't know the whole story. We don't know what assets if any the company has. Perhaps the only asset they have that worths something is that film.

In my opinion if it were an organised censorship they wouldn't let the film go for almost one week.They would stop it at the premiere on Saturday. This did not happen. The film was presented from Saturday until next Thursday.It only had 2 nights (out of 7) left. And the Cinema schedule was for THE QUEEN next

Perhaps the film owner can claim it was an organised attempt for censorship, or even a state supported one. My personal opinion is he is just seeing things and trying to attract publicity.

Personally I haven't heard of this film, here with this publicity the film maker just earned another client, I will go see it as soon as it's on Cinemas again.

I hope you agree that if it were an organised censorship they wouldn't let it go on stage not even from 1 night.

askimwos- you wrote:

The issue is certainly something more than a "legal dispute between a producer and a financer of a film". It is a clear display of intolerance and racism against media sympathising anything related to Turks by the illegal GC administration.

It is certainly not my intention to belittle the GCs. That`s why I criticized the GC Administration as opposed to GCs. However, this administration does belittle our GC friends and I hope they will soon rid themselves from it.

Just to give you a little taster Pyro...

Thanks Natty. It looks like a good film, I am gonna see it for sure.
I mean compared with the documentary of Angastiniotis this is real professional work.

Has anybody heard of the other film they produced with Dervis Zaim called "Camur/Mud" I mean has anybody seen it?
