PANARMENIAN PREMIERE OF "OUR SHOUSHI" FILM HELD TODAY

DeFacto Agency, Armenia
May 3 2007

Today Armenian Public TV broadcast a film "Our Shoushi", which will
be simultaneously demonstrated at the schools of Armenia and Artsakh.

The film’s Panarmenian premiere initiated by the "Revival of Shoushi"
Fund has been arranged for the 15th anniversary of the Armenian
town’s liberation.

According to the Fund’s official site, the documentary "Our Shoushi"
is devoted to the uniqueness of Shoushi and the peculiar place it
occupies in the history of Armenia and Caucasus. Old and modern photo
and video sequences are closely interwoven, which makes the film
intelligible to school children. The spectators will get acquainted
with the history of the town, its beauty, the tragedy it survived
during the pogroms of 1920.

The film’s authors have found an original artistic solution:
the representatives of various generations tell about Shoushi –
a six-year-old girl, a young man and an old man.

The film "Our Shoushi" accustoms schoolchildren to the national
sources and urges Armenians of the whole world to pay contribution
to the revival of the town to a new life.

On the days of the festivities the Fund also organizes a photo
exhibition "Shoushi through the Children’s Eyes". The photos presented
at the exhibition have been made by the Shoushi schoolchildren,
who were presented with one-time-use cameras beforehand.
