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.

More details about the program are available by calling 278.2669.
