Cyprus film incentives scheme production ‘The Moustakas Sisters Mysteries' to make UK premiere

Having been partly shot in Cyprus as part of the country’s national film incentives scheme, ‘The Moustakas Sisters Mysteries,’ with a cast including British-Australian singer, songwriter, and media personality of Cypriot origin Peter Andre, is about to make its UK debut.

The feature film is set to be part of the upcoming Sunshine Murders series on the UK’s Channel 5 and will be shown in London in special preview screenings on 11 and 12 July.

Chairman of the Cyprus Film Commission Lefteris Eleftheriou welcomed the development in a LinkedIn post, noting the film was " Shot in Cyprus under the national film incentives scheme!" and encouraging people to “Watch it and have fun!”

The film was produced by Cyprus and Greece-based Green Olive Films and Cork Films, a family-run film company set up by actress, writer and producer Emily Corcoran with bases in London, France and New Zealand, and which has shot films on both sides of the globe.

Corcoran also stars in ‘The Moustakas Sisters Mysteries’ alongside Dora Chrysikou, and Andre, among others.

With the film directed by Niall Johnson, the plot sees Greek Detective Helen Moustakas (Chrysikou) taken by surprise by a New Zealand farmer called Shirley Rangi (Corcoran), claiming to be her half-sister. Helen is reluctant to believe this revelation, and so agrees to a DNA test. In the meantime, however, Helen is called to investigate the peculiar death of an archaeologist, a mystery which Shirley proves unexpectedly, although accidentally, helpful in solving.

The special preview screenings of ‘The Moustakas SIsters Mystery will be taking place at Everyman Barnet on 11 and 12 July.

‘The Moustakas Sisters Mystery’ feature film, meanwhile, was also a finalist in the Fiction Feature Films category at the recent London Greek Film Festival.
