SAN FRANCISCO - For the first time in the San Francisco Bay Area, the Armenian Film Festival will showcase thirty feature-length and short films by and about Armenians. Screenings will take place Friday, Saturday and Sunday, February 20, 21 and 22, 2004 at the intimate 150-seat Delancey Street Theater in San Francisco. Each screening is designed as a two-hour
program.
Selected by the same curatorial team as the highly successful New York Armenian Film Festival at the Cantor Film Center, the films range from documentary to fiction, features to shorts, and experimental to narrative by filmmakers in Armenia, the Middle-East, Europe and the Americas. The program highlights contemporary pieces that reveal a surprising breadth of approaches and issues relevant to the current moment. Across formal and geographical differences, recognizable themes of displacement, loss, memory, trauma and recognition emerge. Among them are shorts by Oscar-nominee Atom Egoyan, award-winning film maker Tina Bastajian, and "Aram," an impressive feature debut by Robert Kechichian. Other highlights include, "Music is the Air I Breathe," a documentary about the legendary "new music" vocalist, Kathy Berberian, co-presented by Other Minds Festival, "Jews in Armenia," a documentary dealing with mixed identity, "Hokees," an experimental piece about an Armenian woman and her Turkish lover.
Fiscally sponsored by Golden Thread Productions, the Armenian Film Festival is co-presented by the Film Arts Foundation, the San Francisco Cinematheque, and supported by numerous Bay Area Armenian-American individuals and organizations.
Curatorial Team: Anahid Kassabian, Film & media professor at Fordham University, NY Thea Farhadian, Interdisciplinary artist and composer Hrayr Eulmessekian, Filmmaker
