The film is not a story told in the conventional way with words, the audience needs to engage with the film in order to appreciate and understand itโs beauty /3
The opening spoken line of verse โI am the man whose life and soul are tormentโ, the film is a biopic into the life of Armenian poet and composer Sayat Nova, incorporateing quotes from his work /5
Sergei Parajanov (the filmmaker) saw himself as spiritual kin to Sayat-Nova and believed that his ties to multicultural Transcaucasia made him the ideal artist to bring the poetโs life to the screen /9
When Turkey recognised occupied โNorthernโ Cyprus, were there any sanctions on them? or was that not a matter of Human Rights like the recognition of the Donetsk and Luhansk Peopleโs Republics?
Parajanov was arrested multiple times and sent to Siberian Gulag for his bisexuality and defying the standard approach for film making at the time โ Social Realism /11
Today marks 109 years since the Armenian Genocide when 1.5 million Armenians, including my ancestors, endured unimaginable horrors. This memory still weighs heavily on our hearts. Today we honour their unyielding strength and spiritโtheir survival forged the path we now walk ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐๏ธ

. My great-grandmother Mariam was 12 years old during the genocide. Her parents were killed, so were her brothers. Only she and her younger sister who was 8 survived.
Here are my great-grandparents Mariam and Garabed.
Armenians and Palestinians face dire threats of genocide. Azerbaijan and Israel trade oil for arms, planning to kill as many people as possible while the world stands idly by. It reveals a sad truth that the world values political games more than your life.

My great grandmother and her sister, who was a child survived the genocide. they were enslaved to be sold as child brides. My great grandmother escaped; her sister didnโt. She was never heard from again. This horror is our history, not a joke. Making light of it is appalling.

I couldnโt sleep last night. My mind keeps taking me to thoughts of the young women taken hostage by Hamas. They are likely very pregnant by now. My mind races with questions - what happens to the babies of these young girls if
By โliberationโ you mean the Burning of Smyrna by the Turks. Which killed thousands of Greeks and Armenians, and displaced hundreds of thousands more

this racist graffiti on walls of the Armenian monastery in Jerusalem doesnโt say: โrevengeโ, "death to the Arabs", "death to the Christians", "death to the Armenians", does it?

Pasty Pro-terrorism "protestors" in Boston padlocked and set fire a Jewish-owned business in Boston.
This is not 'pro-Palestine'. This is domestic terrorism by white kids that, like January 6, will keep escalating until they kill. Please,

Ah yes in the Armenian quarter of Jerusalem, where Zionist settlers like to remove the Armenian flag from the Armenian church and spit on priests and churchgoers. Very free, tolerant and safe.
Armenian history is embedded through the film. The actor who plays the poetโs father was a survivor of the Armenian Genocide. Suffering from PTSD while filming, looking into his eyes gives a new appreciation for depth of his character, as well as the film /12
The decision to make a film about the life of an Armenian poet and martyr was a dangerous one. Because Armenian national identity was not to be prioritised โ it was viewed as only a part of the Soviet Union /15
Artsakh was lost just over a month ago. 120k Armenians were ethnically cleansed from their ancestral lands. The aggressor is demolishing our churches, erasing our heritage, while paradoxically, the fascist Armenians online are also policing our culture too.
As a child i grew up on stories of my familyโs survival during the Armenian Genocide. This is an integral part of my identity and spirit, as it is for every Armenian. As a child I also grew up on stories of my great grandfather, how he fought for his land and Armenian sovereignty
A month ago the world was so concerned about womens rights in Iran. Today we see comments about transacting โWestern freedomsโ for sexual favours..
Western solidarity is performative and serves more their selfish interests than the people they claim to want to help/liberate.
Yโall are literally reducing a Yemeni teenager to just his looks and undermining the Palestinian cause. Not only is it reductive, itโs also sexual harassment.
