She has also written plays\, the scripts for short films and has adapted texts for the stage. In 2019 she was awarded the artist of the year award by the State Theatre of Cyprus. She co-founded the award-winning feminist theatre company Project Season Women. She is particularly interested in Ancient Greek drama and myth and their contemporary revision through a feminist and post-colonial lens. Since 2012 she has been an artistic associate of Animafest Cyprus\, the International Animation Festival of Cyprus. She has participated in international festival juries and theatre and classics conferences. \nDr Olga Kourelou holds a PhD in Film Studies from King’s College London. Having held teaching positions at King’s College London and Sussex University\, she is now Adjunct Lecturer at the University of Nicosia. She served as a member of the Cyprus Cinema Advisory Committee and has now been appointed to the Subcommittee for Script Evaluation. Olga’s research interests are in star studies\, gender\, race\, and European cinema\, with a particular focus on Greek-language film. She is currently co-editing a book on transnational Greek cinema\, forthcoming with Edinburgh University Press. \nGenre: Documentary\, Director: Claudia Müller\, Year of production: 2022 Duration: 96’ \nLanguage: German with English subtitles Unleashed \nCast: Elfriede Jelinek\, Stefanie Reinsperger\, Ilse Ritter\, Martin Wuttke\, Sandra Hüller\, Maren Kroymann\, Sophie Rois \nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgbaow29O8I \nIn cooperation with: Friends of Cinema Society \nWith the support of: Charles Haimoff Fondation

SUMMARY:Two to One.
DESCRIPTION:Comedy with Sandra Hüller. \n\n\n\nThe Goethe-Institut Cyprus warmly invites you to the screening of TWO TO ONE (2024) on the 4th November 2026. Natja Brunckhorn’s film is about a group of friends\, who with the help of their neighbourhood try to stop capitalism. The filmmaker was inspired by true events happening around the time of the German reunification: \nAs part of the currency union\, millions of GDR-Marks were covertly stored underground in Halberstadt\, in total close to 400 tons worth of bills. Today we know with certainty that money was taken from the vaults\, but which sum was stolen in total remains unknown. \nBased on this true story Natja Brunckhorst developed her film – set in the summer of 1990 in Halberstadt. Maren (Sandra Hüller)\, Robert (Max Riemelt) und Volker (Ronald Zehrfeld) grew up together and are close friends. They find the secret stash of GDR-Marks by accident and decide to stuff their backpacks with money. Together with their neighbours they come up with a clever system to trick West-Germans into exchanging the (now worthless) currency with valuable goods. The summer promises not  only to become an exciting adventure for the three friends\, but also a defining turning point in their lives. \nTwo to One is a love- and friendship-comedy about money and justice. And an homage to a time in which everything seemed possible. \nThe film is shown as part of the Weeks of the German Language. This initiative\, organized by the embassies of Austria\, Germany\, and Switzerland\, together with the Goethe-Institut Cyprus and in cooperation with the Ministry of Education\, Sport and Youth\, annually hosts a variety of activities and events focusing on the German language and the cultures of the participating countries. \nWe would also like to extend our special thanks to the Friends of Cinema Society for supporting this film screening. \nTrailer: https://youtu.be/Y0Fs1FLqAsA?si=xz-BB05t_Up1kF6- \n
