Over the
last two years we have been working with independent filmmaker Josiah Patrow and his company PatrowVisual. Our first documentary “Survey on Cyprus” premiered in Fall 2006 in Grand
Forks, North Dakota and has been broadcast on several PBS stations. The documentary,
which runs 28 minutes in length, is designed for broadcast and classroom use.
Its short length and abundant extras (including in-depth interviews with both
the filmmaker and the archaeologists, photographs, computer animations, as well
as the amusing outtakes) allows for it to be embedded within a classroom and it
is well-suited to work alongside material available at the Pyla-Koutsopetria Archaeological Project's website. Partial financial
support for the Survey on Cyprus was provided through the Office of
Instructional Development at the University of North Dakota.
During the summer of 2007, through the generous support of IUP's College of Humanities and Social Sciences, we were able to bring Joe back to Cyprus and he is currently editing the video footage he shot for our second documentary.
