Armenian Film Festival explores ethnic
identity
The
Armenian Students Organization and Armenian Studies Program are co-sponsors
of the seventh Armenian Film Festival beginning at 7 p.m. Feb. 10 in the
Industrial Technology Building, Room 101.
The featured film is "My
Son Shall Be Armenian," directed by Hagop Goudsouzian, which explores
Armenian identity. The film depicts Goudsouzian and five fellow Montreal men
and women of Armenian descent on a trip to Armenia in search of survivors of
the Armenian Genocide.
Several other short films –
some in English, some in Armenian and all directed and produced by a new
generation of Armenian filmmakers
–
are on the program. After each, there will be time for discussion.
Admission is free, in part
because of support from the University Student Union Diversity Awareness
Program. Parking restrictions in Lots K, L and Q will be relaxed after 6:30
that evening.

program are available by calling 278.2669. |
