The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the dire ctor of the movie\, Emily Mkrtichian.
"There Was\, There Was Not" fol lows four women living in the Republic of Artsakh\, an unrecognized country reckoning with the aftermath of one war while on the precipice of another. In the midst of this uncertainty\, four women build a life with the hope o f making their home a better place. When war breaks out again\, what began as an observational meditation on women’s roles after conflict becomes an u rgent and intimate record of their lives interrupted once again by war. Fro m taking up arms on the front lines to fleeing their homes as refugees\, ea ch woman’s life changes irrevocably. Their journey becomes the myth of a ho meland lost forever\, and the power of story to keep it alive.
