The Bold And Fearless At POM:
Tales Of Courage At This Year s Film Fest By Dr. Roubina Yeghoyan Hamakayin's Pomegranate Film Festival will screen fifty films between November 14th18th, with a renowned jury consisting of executive producer Silva Basmajian, director Bared Maronian and Agos journalist and film critic Kumru Bilici. As Armenians all over the world mourn the loss of Charles Aznavour, POM is honoured to organize a special night of tribute dedicated to the late singer. On Wednesday, November 14th, two screenings will take place at the Hamazkayin Theatre, each of which pay homage to the legacy of the French icon. The first screening, a documentary called Aznavour: Autobiographie, was filmed by the singer's longtime friend, Marc Di Domenico. Intimate footage of the singer was filmed over the span of four years, without the use of conventional interviews. This approach to filmmaking creates a touching, candid glimpse into the life of Aznavour born into a modest family of artists with a passion for culture and music. The film is an intimate interplay of career and private life, where the viewers enjoys tidbits of his friendships with Liza Minelli, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles and a plethora of other musicians. The evening promises to be a memorable event, with a special performance with members of Hamazkayin's Kousan Choir. The second feature of the evening will be François Truffaut's Shoot The Piano Player (Tirez Sur Le Pianiste), originally released in 1960, the POM presentation will include English subtitles. The film is a classic and helped launch Aznavour on the world stage. It stars a youthful Aznavour as a mildmannered pianist who finds himself in the

criminal underworld. Truffaut, a master director, crosses traditional film genres by mixing strokes of comedy, tragedy and suspense in this post-war Parisian classic, in which Aznavour shines as Edouard Saroyan. POM is also thrilled to present two fascinating features on Thursday, November 15th at Fairview Mall Cineplex. Producer Mary Apick's Price For Freedom will kick off the evening. Apick, along with actors Paul Sorvino, Ken Davitian, and Dr. Marc Benhuri the author of the best-selling novel upon which the film is based will be in attendance for
an interactive panel after the screening with broadcaster Arda Zakarian. Set during the context of the Islamic Revolution in Tehran 1979, an Iranian-Jewish dentist opposes the new regime and becomes involved in dangerous plans to hamper the American Hostage Crisis. Based on actual events, the film highlights the power of an ordinary man's struggle to maintain freedom and justice in the face of tyranny. The following feature, Spitak, with a musical score by Serj Tankian, will follow at 9:15pm Thursday. Chosen as Armenia's
selection for the Best Foreign Language' film for the Academy Awards in 2019, the film is a powerful story of a father, Gor, who leaves Moscow for Armenia upon learning about the earthquake of 1988. The devastation and chaos he discovers is overwhelming, beyond anything he could have imagined. Yet Gor never abandons hope. He encounters a multitude of medics, soldiers and brave civilians all of whom are suffering in their own way while bravely searching for survivors. Inspirational stories will continue to be
