    Armenian Film Festival to be held at MFA, Boston
    12.04.2009 00:48 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian Dramatic Arts Alliance is proud to
    present the Second Annual Armenian Film Festival at The Museum of Fine
    Arts, Boston from May 1 to 3. The festival celebrates Armenian
    culture, heritage, language and filmmakers with films ranging from the
    documentary to the dramatic. The festival kicks off on Friday evening,
    May 1st, with The Blue Hour by Eric Nazarian, a film following several
    strangers in Los Angeles whose stories of loss and hope cross in small
    but sometimes profound ways. This will be followed by a Q&A with the
    director Eric Nazarian, after which a welcome reception will take
    place for the film makers and attendees.

    On Saturday, May 2, the focus will be French Armenian filmmakers, with
    films from Serge Avedikian, Levon Minasian and Varant
    Soudjian. Saturday evening programming will conclude with The Mermaid
    directed by Ana Melikyan and produced by Robert Dishdishyan. This film
    was Russia's entry for the 2009 Academy Awards.

    Sunday afternoon, May 3 will begin with programming for a younger
    audience, beginning with 12 short music videos, produced by Armenian
    film makers, for the politically aware band System of a Down. The main
    feature presentation will be FLOAT, a film by Hrach Titizian shot in
    Glendale, CA with Armenian actors.

    Sunday night will conclude with the new film Autumn by Ozcan Alper
    shown in the Hamshen dialect with subtitles. Autumn tells the tale of
    a political prisoner after his release. This debut feature from Alper
    has been winning numerous awards.

    This year's festival is sponsored by Alfred Demirjian and
    Techfusion.com and programmed by Bianca Bagatourian and Jane Minasian,
    mfa.org reports.
