    Armenian students host film festival

    by Rick Bentley / The Fresno Bee


    The 12th annual Armenian Film Festival will be held from 7-10 p.m.
    today in Fresno State's Industrial Technology Building, Room 101. It's
    co-sponsored by the Armenian Students Organization and Armenian
    Studies Program.

    Admission is free. Parking restrictions are relaxed in lots near the venue.

    The films, in English or Armenian, are directed and produced by a new
    generation of Armenian filmmakers.

    The films include:

    "Akhtamar": A mysterious taxi driver is hailed by a handsome young
    Muscovite who has traveled to Armenian to meet his girlfriend. It was
    directed by the Shammasian Brothers.

    "Chienne d'Histoire": Director Serge Avedikian's winner of the Best
    Short Film award at the Cannes Film Festival. It highlights an event
    from the history of Constantinople in 1910.

    "Fifth Column": Director Vatche Boulgourdjian's work chronicles
    desperation and mourning in the Armenian quarter of Beirut.

    For more information, call (559) 278-2669.
