Years later\, after managing t o survive the horrors of the genocide\, he hears that his two daughters ar e also still alive. He becomes fixated on the idea of finding them and set s off to track them down. His search takes him from the Mesopotamian deser ts and Havana to the barren and desolate prairies of North Dakota. On this odyssey\, he encounters a range of very different people: angelic and kin d-hearted characters\, but also the devil incarnate.\nTrailer: https://www .youtube.com/watch?v=qA7j6zvApPI\n\nSaroyanland by Lusin Dink (2013)\nThe author William Saroyan\, the child of an exiled Armenian family\, was born in the United States in 1908. He always portrayed himself as an American and a Bitlis-tsi\, an Armenian from the city of Bitlis in Turkey. In 1964 he made a long voyage in Anatolia\, leading him to his home town Bitlis. T he docu-drama road movie tells the story of this voyage\, making use of hi s own memoirs and short stories\, as well as the accounts of his travellin g companions. In Saroyan's own words\, told by a voice over\, we see his a nger\, passion\, longing for his homeland\, ability of empathy and love of humankind. The script of the film\, based on interviews\, reenactment of Saroyan's stories\, and the author’s memoirs is a collage of his voyage in Turkey\, told in his own words. While replicating Saroyan's voyage 49 y ears later\, we witness the self-discovery of a man\, who by following the traces of his ancestors\, also finds himself.\nTrailer: https://www.youtu be.com/watch?v=tbGNIUriSQg\n\n1915 The Movie by Garin Hovannisian and Alec Mouhibian (2015)\nIn 2015\, exactly 100 years after the Armenian Genocide \, a mysterious director is staging a play at the Los Angeles Theatre to h onor the victims of that tragedy — a horrifying crime forgotten and deni ed for an entire century. But as protesters surround his theatre\, and a s eries of strange accidents spread panic among his actors\, it appears that Simon’s mission is profoundly dangerous — and the ghosts of the past are everywhere.\nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyo-G3dhMRM\n\nP aradjanov by Olena Fetisova and Serge Avedikian (2013)\nIn 1960\, Soviet A rmenian film director Sergei Paradjanov’s never ending feast of a life i s twice changed: he is to become the father of a boy and of a movie. A hit in Europe\, he receives a cold welcome in the USSR. He leaves Ukraine for Armenia\, where his bohemian lifestyle is unchanged. Arrested on suspicio n of sodomy\, Paradjanov spends five long years in prison\, where he finds salvation in art. Upon his release\, he returns to Georgia\, where he dir ects a new masterpiece of world cinema. Paradjanov was Ukraine’s officia l proposal for the Best Foreign Language Film category at the 2014 Academy Awards.\nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5wlhiaKl8E\n\n\n\n\n\n \n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://test.arabamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2015/05/11164677_10152918840482462_7858701588943172030_o.jpg CATEGORIES:Community LOCATION:New People Cinema\, 1746 Post Street\, San Fransisco\, California\ , United States GEO:37.78575600000001;-122.43059700000003 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=1746 Post Street\, San Fran sisco\, California\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=New People C inema:geo:37.78575600000001,-122.43059700000003 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Detroit X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Detroit BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20150308T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0400 TZNAME:EDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
