Auditorium (next to the SaveMart Center), on the Fresno State campus.
Director Eric Nazarian will give a historical overview of cinema, the
genesis of Aurora Mardiganian's Ravished Armenia , the first film
produced in Hollywood about the Genocide, and later productions of the
20th century depicting the Genocide and/or the Armenian experience of
exile including the work of Elia Kazan ( America, America ), Atom
Egoyan ( Ararat ) and Henry Verneuil ( Mayrig ).
