Armenia's Independence Day Will Be Celebrated This Sunday

Armenia And The Cinema Of Independence.

2016 marks 25 years of independence. Come watch films and celebrate one of the most important milestones in Armenian history. All of the films were shot in Armenia in the last 25 years, and together they paint a dynamic human portrait of hopes, dreams, struggles, and outcome of this decisive period of upheaval.

Lusine Sargsyan, the Armenia-born director of the feature film THE ABODE, will join for a Q/A with Los Angeles-based filmmaker Eric Nazarian.

The event will be at Laemmle Playhouse 7 in Pasadena, from 3 pm to 7 pm.

Admission is free.

 Join the conversation on Twitter and Facebook.

Established in 2005, the USC Institute of Armenian Studies supports multidisciplinary scholarship to re-define, explore and study the complex issues that make up the contemporary Armenian experience – from post-Genocide to the developing Republic of Armenia to the evolving Diaspora. The institute encourages research, publications and public service, and benefits from communication technologies that link together the global academic and Armenian communities.
