http://www.londongreekfilmfestival.com/lgff2014filminfo/ThefacesofPhlamoudhi.htm
 The film, over 4 years in the making, chronicles the reminiscences of several villagers about daily life prior to the 1974 Turkish invasion. Stimulated by Cohn’s lecture following publication of his book, Barclay interviewed villagers in diaspora, and juxtaposed this with extensive commentary by Cohn about the process he underwent reconnecting the photographs with their subjects - and the resulting lifelong friendships that have been rekindled from the endeavor.

 CYBC Radio Interview (with Savvas Georgiou)

24 November 2010 A discussion about the impact of photographs on memory, from the perspectives of the photographer and a Phlamoudhioti, as explored in the lecture presented two days later at the 1st International Conference of Photography & Theory, held in Limassol  Lectures Phlamoudhi: From the Bronze Age to the Digital Era The transformation of a community from one based on location to one linked by common memories Memories are fragile, ephemeral, and selective, but sometimes they are all we have. For over 30 years, the displaced population had only oral histories and a slowly but inexorably diminishing collective memory of their ancestral homeland. This changed with the serendipitous re-emergence in New York of the photographs of The Faces of Phlamoudhi, which lead to their publication and exhibition at the Cyprus Museum in 2009. This paper traces the history of the project and the parallel story of a community kept alive through shared memories, friendship and family, juxtaposing images taken in 2009 with counterparts taken 37 years earlier. The presentation at Cyprus House, New York, was published in

18 June - 18 September 2009 The Mediterranean has always been a place of dynamic cultural and artistic interaction. With the advent of burgeoning sea trade in the second half of the second millennium BCE, or the Late Bronze Age, Cyprus became a vital and prominent place of interaction, bringing together people and ideas from all parts of the Mediterranean world. Cyprus continued throughout its history – in the Iron Age … the Roman period … the Middle Ages … and the modern day – to be a place of interconnections. The village of Phlamoudhi was a part of that vibrant world. The contributions of Phlamoudhi to the art and culture of the Mediterranean was made public for the first time in an exhibition that ran from January 18-March 19, 2005 in the Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Art Gallery in Schermerhorn Hall on the campus of Columbia University. This exhibit reopened in the Cyprus Museum on June 18, 2009. It featured the archaeology of Phlamoudhi, in addition to an exhibition of photographs of the village and its residents taken by Ian J. Cohn in 1972.
