11th Annual Pomegranate Film Festival Promises Spectacular Line-up By Roubina Shnorhokian Hamazkayin s 11th annual world renowned Pomegranate Film Festival will take place on November 17-20th, 2016, promising to deliver a spectacular array of films and a unique gala soirée. This year marks an unprecedented level of creative collaboration among artists and the recognition of films where families cope with the effects of war. Over 35 films have been selected from both experienced and new filmmakers. The festival will begin at Silver City Fairview Mall on Thursday, November 17th. Filmmakers Ela Alyamac and Aren Perdeci of Istanbul will present their much anticipated fairytale, Lost Birds which has won several awards on the film festival circuit. The film will be screened at 7pm to begin the 2016 festival. Lost Birds is the first feature made in Turkey about the Genocide, told through the lens of children and appropriate for audiences of all ages. Actress Arsinee Khanjian stars in Serge Avedikian's latest feature, Lost In Armenia, at 9pm. The feature is a funny and refreshing film that does justice to the men and women who protect Armenia s borders. Both Khanjian and Parisbased Avedikian will be in attendance for this premiere, which boasts a cast that includes awardwinning French actor Patrick Chesnais. Aside from being a talented actor, Avedikian has developed into a remarkable director. His previous feature, Paradjanov, and short film, Barking Island, have been praised by film critics internationally-the latter receiving the prestigious award for best short at the Cannes Film Festival. The impact of childhood memories will be explored in a couple of films about World War II, including Hamshen director Ozcan Alper's Memories Of The Wind, about an Armenian intellectual who is forced to leave Istanbul during
