BEYOND MATTER
2024
The opening and closing ceremonies of the Cyprus Film Days Festival have been undertaken by Lia Haraki, with a dream team of artists.
The opening ceremony was a one woman show directed, performed and written by the Lia, who sometimes took the role of a singer, sometimes of a dancer and sometimes of a stand-up performer. The project ended with a live sound piece called ‘Beyond Matter’ that payed tribute to both the creators and the complexity of the creative process. The music and sound design was by Yiannis Christofides. Despina Kannaourou and Konstantinos Hadjidimitris created the typographic animation, Alexander Jotovic the lighting design and the presenter of the ceremonies was the visual artist PASHIAS.
The closing ceremony was an audience warm up for releasing any tension related to the anxiety and anitcipation of the award ceremony which followed.
