Atom Egoyan’s movie “Ararat” concludes on Sunday, June 2, at 8:30 p.m., the screenings of the third cycle of the “Philosophy & Cinema” Workshop, on the theme “Historical past, Trauma, Narrative”, organized by Division of Philosophy of the College of Ioannina and the Municipality of Ioannina, with the scientific supervisor of the assistant professor on the Division of Philosophy of the College of Ioannina Lia Mela.
The place to begin for this movie is a historic reality: in 1915 greater than 1,000,000 Armenians (two-thirds of the whole inhabitants of Armenian origin) had been massacred by the Ottoman Turks, a real genocide, which the trendy Turkish state has by no means acknowledged.
On the middle of the narrative are the efforts of an Armenian-born director to characterize this traumatic occasion on movie. Peripheral figures, however not minor to the dramatic plot, are an 18-year-old who has simply returned from a visit to Turkey, a customs official who meets him on the airport, the 18-year-old’s artwork historian mom, his French lover (who occurs to be and his half-sister), the customs officer’s son and his half-Turkish good friend, an actor within the movie the director is making.
On the event of the screening of the movie on the “Dimitris Hatzis” cultural middle (Previous Slaughterhouses), earlier, at 7 pm, the professor of cinema research on the College of Poitiers Thanasis Vassiliou and the assistant professor on the Division of Philosophy of the College of Ioannina Spyros Kaltsas will converse.
