No man’s air

No Man’s Air reconstructs the last flight to Nicosia Airport in 1974, as told by Captain Adamos Marneros. Since 1974, the airport has been a no man’s land between the Greek- and Turkish-speaking parts of Cyprus. Like archaeologists, the filmmakers piece together the past using shards found on the internet. A digital excavation, melancholic reconstruction, and tribute to the imagination.
