On July 2, the next screening of the Cinema Club was held at the National Library of Armenia. This time the guests watched the film Hiroshima Mon Amour by Alain Resnais. This is a wonderful story about the love of a French film actress and a Japanese architect, which began in post-war Hiroshima. The entire film is a conversation between two characters talking about love, death, memory and oblivion at the same time.

“Filmadaran”, cinematographer Garegin Zakoyan, all the leading directors of the French New Wave highly appreciated Alain Resnais’ film. The film is very sincere from beginning to end, and the viewer experiences everything along with the characters. Zakoyan notes that this is a kind of educational film that tells you what an emotion is and where it is located.

In 1961, the film received an award from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA). For the third year in a row, in the National Library of Armenia, in cooperation with the NGO for the development of cinematic culture “Filmadaran” and the French Embassy in Armenia/French Institute, a Cinema Club has been operating, representing the Collection of French films. The films are shown in French with Armenian and English subtitles. The entrance is free. Address: st. Teryan, 72.
