Parallel Trips (Turkish: Paralel Yolculuklar) is a 2004 Turkish-Greek-Cypriot documentary film, written, produced and directed by Derviş Zaim and Panicos Chrysanthou, in which the two directors, from opposite sides of the divided island of Cyprus, record the human dramas that unfolded during the war of 1974 and the legacy that remains today. The film was screened at the Istanbul International Film Festival and the 12th London Turkish Film Festival.

Reviews

Time Out London says that this, ambitious documentary, is a lengthy, slow-paced series of anecdotes narrated by those who experienced the horror of the troubles in Cyprus, both Turkish and Greek, which is, at times difficult to watch and poorly subtitled, This is a film, by the end of which peace, community and the experience of war take on much deeper meanings, where, the good nature of the people recounting their stories makes the actions of the past all the more incomprehensible.[1]
