Join us on Tuesday, April 25 as Armenian Film Society's Armen Karaoghlanian takes the stage at the Alex Theatre for a conversation with director Naré Mkrtchyan, following a screening of The Other Side of Home.

The documentary centers on Maya, a Turkish woman who discover that her great grandmother was survivor of the Armenian Genocide. Maya embodies the conflict as she has two enemies living in her body: one side that suffers and the other side that denies. The Other Side of Home follows Maya as she decides to go to Armenia to take part in the 100th commemoration of the Genocide and to explore her conflicted identity. This film is a universal story of identity, denial, and how the experience of genocide creates a ripple effect for future generations on both sides.

The Other Side of Home was shortlisted at the Academy Awards. Armenian Film Society hosted a screening of the film in January 2017.
