A film by Alana Kakoyiannis on lacemaking in Lefkara, Cyprus.
Women in the village of Lefkara, Cyprus, have been embroidering lace since the 15th century. Now this regional handicraft, recently nominated to UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Element collection, is dying out -- replaced by machine-made replicas imported from abroad to meet the demand of tourists.
Anazitisi Cultural Centre is a not-for-profit organization based in Cyprus founded by educators and artists in 2008. Since being founded the organization has initiated a series of projects for young people as well as adult education projects.
