Limassol, Cyprus. Agios Spyridon Lyceum in Kato Polemidia is marking its 30th anniversary by inaugurating its Cultural Evenings with a free public screening of the Spanish film Deaf (Sorda) this Friday. The event will include an introduction and a discussion, with voluntary contributions supporting the School Welfare Fund.
Cultural Evenings launch with Cinema at School – Movie Night
The programme opens with Cinema at School – Movie Night in the school’s screening hall, with free admission open to the wider public. The initiative was proposed and drawn up by the school’s student council in collaboration with the Limassol Film Club and Queer Wave.
Film selection and background
Eva Libertad’s Deaf (Sorda) will be screened with accessible Greek subtitles. The film won the Audience Award at the Berlin Film Festival 2025 and is a nominee for the pan-European LUX Audience Award 2026.
The film tells the story of a deaf woman experiencing motherhood among hearing people. The woman, Ángela, is expecting a child with her hearing partner, Héctor, and the arrival of the baby unsettles their relationship as Ángela feels she is being forced to raise her child in a world that is not designed for her.
Introduction and post-screening discussion
The screening will be introduced by film professional Diego Armando Aparicio, who this year represents Cyprus in the LUX Award’s Young Talent Programme. A discussion with the audience will follow the screening.
Fundraising and refreshments
A secondary aim of the event is to raise funds for the School Welfare Fund through voluntary audience contributions. Popcorn, snacks, soft drinks and juices will be available with the support of the school’s parents association.
School programme and LUX Audience Award context
