Description

The second of two film nights in the yard of Cynema Xanthis 3, in collaboration with the French Institute Nicosia and the Cultural Workshop Ayion Omologiton is a showing of the legendary film Forbidden Games (French: Jeux interdits), a 1952 French war drama film directed by René Clément and based on François Boyer's novel Jeux Interdits.

The film won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, a Special Award as Best Foreign Language Film in the United States, and a Best Film from any Source at the British Academy Film Awards.

Starring: Georges Poujouly, Brigitte Fossey, Amédée.

A timeless evocation of childhood innocence corrupted, René Clément’s Forbidden Games tells the story of a young girl orphaned by war and the farm boy she joins in a fantastical world of macabre play. At once mythical and heartbreakingly real, this unique film features astonishing performances by its child stars and was honored with a special foreign language film Academy Award in 1952.
