The Armenian Films screen on Sunday, March 15. Highlighted this year are the following:
---My Armenian Phantoms by Tamara Stepanyan - Armenia's official submission to the 98th Academy Awards this year.
Filmmaker Tamara Stepanyan embarks on an evocative journey through the forgotten world of Armenian cinema. Sparked by a dialogue with her father, renowned Armenian actor Vigen Stepanyan, this captivating documentary brings to life the vibrant and often overlooked history interwoven with personal loss. Drawing on a rich tapestry of film moments and her own memories, she makes us relive the favourites of Armenian Cinema.
---Imagined Landscapes by Eleanor Ekserdjian
Imagined Landscapes' is the first sight of a landscape the artist had always imagined but had never seen, as someone who grew up in the UK with a curiosity about their Armenian family.

The film is about a man expelled from paradise, who searches for traces of paradise on earth.
