LONDON — Armenian Film Society London has launched an international open call for films in or about Western Armenian to premiere at the prestigious Institute of Contemporary Arts as part of the Armenian Film Festival London. The initiative, called “A Ribbon of Film,” is the first-ever dedicated Western Armenian film program and will premiere in the Armenian Film Festival London from December 3 to 6. It also gives filmmakers working in and with Western Armenian a stage of their own, and the recognition their work deserves.” The program will showcase films exploring Western Armenian language and dialects, writing, literature and culture, accompanied by filmmaker Q&As and panel discussions. The organizers invite submissions of films of any genre and length, completed between 2021 and 2026, that are either in Western Armenian or explore Western Armenian language, culture, history or lived experience.
