The multimedia presentation was developed in 1993/1994 to let the world know about the continuing occupation of the city of Famagusta. The project was initiated by Famagustians who were violently forced to leave their homes on the 14th of August 1974. The pioneers were members of the Famagusta Club of Rotary, which also covered the material costs. Famagusta 1974 was developed by an enthusiastic a team of then young Cypriot multimedia experts working for The Multimedia Factory.
The project was installed on touch screen kiosks at the international airport of Larnaca, at the Limassol Museum and at the Deryneia tent, facing the ghost city of Famagusta.
