    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The 50-minute long documentary "South Tyrol: Weather
    in Mountains" will be screened on November 4 in the public discussion
    hall of Internews NGO, Yerevan.

    The film is part of a series of films entitled "Farewell to Arms:
    >From Belfast to Balkans".

    The documentary series comprises 5 films produced jointly by Armenian
    and Azeri journalists.

    After the 1919 First World War, South Tyrol was annexed to Italy.

    Before that it formed part of Austria. Despite Italianization policy
    conducted earlier, two thirds of the province's population are
    German-speaking. Official languages there are Italian and German.

    During and after World War II, the German community of South Tirol
    mounted separatist protest, dissatisfied with minority's situation
    Italy. In the 1960s, the protests escalated to an action known as
    Fire Night.
