Tue, Oct 11 2011
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.-The 4th annual Armenian Dramatic Arts Alliance (ADAA)
Film Festival will take place at the Fresh Pond Cinemas in Cambridge
from Nov. 12-13. The event is dedicated to providing a forum for
new Armenian filmmakers, and is sponsored by Roy Shahan and John
Vigen Der Manuelian, in loving memory of Manuel, Armenouhy, Armane
(Aghababian), Takouhi (Chorbajian), and Kenneth Shant Der Manuelian.
This year's lineup includes over 10 films from around the world,
beginning with a new film by French Armenian filmmaker Serge Avedikian
called "Dogs of Istanbul," a follow-up to his short film last year,
"Barking Island."
>From French Armenian filmmaker Levon Minasian comes the award-winning
short film "The Piano," a charming look at a 13-year-old in Leninakan
who longs to play a piano that doesn't fit in her tiny home.
>From Belgium, filmmaker Comes Chabazian presents "Ici Bas" (Down Here),
an abstract realist look at life in Armenia.
>From South Africa, ADAA presents Shareen Anderson's "Charents: In
Search Of My Armenian Poet." This full-length film explores the life
and works of one of Armenia's best-loved poets, Yeghishe Charents,
through a literary travelogue from Armenia to the poet's birthplace
in Kars, Turkey.
"Son of the Olive Merchant" is a charming film by Mathieu
Zeitindjioglou, who travels to Turkey on his honeymoon with his Polish
wife to confront genocide denial.
The Film Festival Committee includes Rozet Atizinian, Samuel Vartan,
and Alfred Demirjian. The films were curated by Janice Keuhnelian
and Bianca Bagatourian.
The ADAA is dedicated to projecting the Armenian voice on a world
stage through the stage and screen.
