Smuggling Hendrix
Directed by Marios Piperides

In this engaging comedy, a Greek Cypriot faces a bureaucratic nightmare when he tries to retrieve his dog from the Turkish occupied sector of the divided city of Nicosia. Desperate, he engages an unlikely band of accomplices, including a Turkish settler, to help him smuggle the dog back.
In the words of the Tribeca jury, the film is a “unique, comedic exploration of a complicated absurd political situation told in a clear, personal, compelling way.”
