CineCulture and the Armenian Studies Program Present the Fresno State Screening of “Roots”

25.10.2018   23:25

NOR OR, LOS ANGELES –  The CineCulture Film Series and the Armenian Studies Program at Fresno State are sponsoring the screening of the film Roots at 5:30PM on Friday, November 2, in the Leon and Pete Peters Educational Auditorium (5010 N. Woodrow Ave., at the west end of the SaveMart Center, near Shaw and Woodrow Aves.), on the Fresno State campus.

After the screening producer Lilit Martirosyan (Yerevan, Armenia) will discuss the film and answer questions.

Roots, by Armenian director Vahé Yan, tells the story of a Boston-based journalist-blogger named Aram who decides to visit Armenia on the eve of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide in 2015 and cover the commemorative events on his blog. In Armenia purely by accident, he meets Anet, who lives in France and who, under the nickname Vané, is one of his regular blog readers. The beautiful love story that emerges makes these protagonists’ ties with their native homeland even more profound. A modern-day romance. In Armenian and English with English sub-titles.

Admission is free, but seating is limited. The screening is open to the public and free parking is available at any of the adjacent Fresno State parking lots (near the corner of Shaw and Woodrow Avenues).

For more information about the presentation please contact the Armenian Studies Program at 278-2669, or visit our website at www.fresnostate.edu/armenianstudies, or visit our Facebook page at @ArmenianStudiesFresnoState.
