Armenian Movie Night: "April War Heroes" Documentary Premiere

In a debut cultural event, Forest Lawn—Hollywood Hills’s Armenian Movie Night will celebrate and revive Armenian history and culture as well as pay tribute to Genocide Awareness Month. The FREE, one-night-only event includes the exclusive premiere of the documentary "April War Heroes," followed by a Q&A with the film’s director, Tsvetana Paskaleva, who is one of the most celebrated Armenian filmmakers. After the screening, Armenian community partners will present artifacts, art, and embroidery that represent historic Armenian regions and recover and reintroduce aspects of Armenian culture that were largely eradicated during the Armenian Genocide of 1915. The event also includes Armenian music performances by Ara Dabanjian from Element Band and Friends and traditional Armenian pastries from local Armenian bakeries.
