A UNIC STORY | THE GREEN LINE PROJECT

In 2014, 5 childhood friends had an ambitious idea.

A VR documentary in one of the most inaccessible areas in the world, the Green Line of Cyprus.

After months of planning, the creators turned to the University of Nicosia.

UNIC embraced the idea, providing financial support and cutting-edge VR equipment.

Shooting took place in 2015, in areas of the Green Line that hadn’t been accessed for 45 years.

In 2018, the VR documentary premiered at Cannes. It has now earned 4 first prizes for Best VR Film and 16 nominations at film festivals around the world.

With UNIC’s support and VR technology, the team is now working on the sequel
