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.
