British Armenian Focus Shorts + Q&A
Armenian Film Society London
- Imagined Landscapes, dir. Eleanor Ekserdjian, UK 2024, 8 mins.
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 shows through a series of still camera shots, landscapes and medieval monasteries, alternately experienced as ancient spaces or as sites of modern conflict. Imagined Landscapes explores cultural memory through landscape and examines our shifting ideas of homeland from the perspective of diaspora.
- Pomegranate, dir. Zoë Morgan Chiswick, UK 2024, 14 mins.
When an immigrant family is subjected to a daily horror from their past, what will it take to break this cycle and give them a future?
- Doon, dir. Sarine Arslanian and Russell Agro, UK 2024, 7 mins.
Doon is a visceral exploration of exile and homecoming through Armenian dance — an embodied remembering of loss, ancestral memory and the deep currents that move beneath the visible.
- Saint Vassily, dir. Masha Egieva, UK 2024, 14 mins.
An ambitious student, Vassily prepares for his forthcoming ordination as an Orthodox priest when his roommate goes missing. As worrisome rumours and paranoia permeate the all-male Academy, Vassily is approached by a quietly menacing KGB agent.
Followed by an in-person Q&A with filmmakers, hosted by Kira Adibekov.
