An open lecture with cultural critic Hrach Bayadyan, held as part of FOCUS’s 10th anniversary events. A look at Soviet Armenian films of the 1960s–70s (“Hello, That's Me!”, “We and Our Mountains”, “Hayrik”, “Crossroads”, and others) through the lens of constructing cultural identity. Key discussion points: • Who is the narrator (e.g., in “The Men”)? • What constitutes “we” or the “homeland” in these films — Soviet or Armenian? • The national as exclusively masculine. • Folklore roots of cultural identity and contemporary urban life. • What does the Russian element represent for Armenian identity — the “other” or an inevitable part?
