Phivos Philitas, Façade, 2025
A non-narrative documentary, Façade captures the accelerating rhythms of Limassol’s urban development and gentrification, as time-lapses of construction and destruction are juxtaposed with vignettes that showcase the minute, mundane details that make a city.
Androula Kafa, Our Garden, 2025
Did you know that pigeons can love? Was there a river here? It would have been beautiful here.
Created in response to The Garden is Ours protests against the redevelopment of part of the Limassol Municipal Gardens by private investors in 2022–2023, Our Garden interweaves footage from the site with poetic meditations on its neglect and looming erasure. The work traces emotions of loss, suffocation, and ecological grief, rooted in the artist’s intimate experience of her hometown’s aggressive gentrification.
Adonis Archontides, Adonis and the House, After, 2025
Adonis and the House, After is a series of short vignettes, shot in the popular social simulation game The Sims 4. They are woven together to tell a non-linear story of an apartment in Limassol.

Phivos Philitas
Phivos Philitas is a filmmaker and photographer. He was born in Limassol, where he currently lives and works. Operating independently as a one-person production studio, he focuses on street photography and documentary work. Through his work, he examines Cypriot identity in the context of a rapidly transforming, gentrified city. Drawing on dérive and psychogeography, his creative process is rooted in spontaneous urban walks that open space for chance encounters and unfiltered observations. He graduated from the University of York (2020), specialising in Cinematography. In 2021, he won the Best Cinematography Award at the Cyprus International Short Film Festival, for the short documentary Night Lives (2020). In 2024, his solo exhibition Everything Concrete is True, Everything True is Concrete was presented at Tapper in the framework of Limassol Art Walks. Recent work includes directing music videos for independent local artists such as Mava, Kalaqs, x.ypno, and DJ Rill.
Adonis Archontides
Adonis Archontides is a multidisciplinary artist from Cyprus. His works are often introspective and sometimes subtly satirical; they consist of investigations into the production of identity, consciously or subconsciously, and shift in the space between reality, fiction, simulation and dream. Most recently, he has been focusing on the fields of photography and video games. He has exhibited in various institutions and events, such as Nicosia Municipal Art Centre, The Wrong Biennale, Phenomenon (as part of The Island Club), Milan Machinima Festival, The One Minutes, and K-Gold Temporary Gallery.
Androula Kafa
Androula Kafa is a musician, sound artist, and curator based in Limassol and Nicosia. Her work includes performance, composition, sound installation, sonic meditation, and socially engaged practices of collective listening and sounding. Drawing on philosophy, ecology, and magical discourses, her work probes the healing and ecstatic potential of sonic experience. As “DJ KATTA”, she is active in Cyprus’s queer and underground music scenes, performing rave sets and experimental sound collages. Since 2019, she is the Director of The Island Club. She holds a BA and MPhil in Philosophy from University College London.
