An open lecture by cultural critic Hrach Bayadyan. A comparative look at the film “We Are Our Mountains” and the novella of the same name: how Soviet censorship and Soviet-Armenian national ideology intervened in the translation from page to screen. The discussion also turns to Hrant Matevosyan’s novella “Hangover,” which reconstructs Michelangelo Antonioni’s film “La Notte,” exploring the text's hybrid cinematic-literary language and the broader question of national cinema.
