BAGHDASAR AGHPAR is a classic Armenian theatrical parody written by Hagop Baronian adapted to film for the first time by director Sarky Mouradian. The film stars Hagop Der Boghossian, Sonig Dulgerian, and Razmig Libaridian.

The corruption of those days is alive and well today and will definitely continue on tomorrow.

In 1960, he moved to Los Angeles where he attended “Theater of Arts” and began working in the film industry as an actor and director. His films include, Baghdasar Akhbar (1965), Sons of Sassoun (1973), Tears of Happiness (1975) , Promise of Love (1978), and The Forty Days of Musa Dagh (1982). Mouradian established one of the first Armenian television shows in Los Angeles in 1978 titled, Armenian Teletime, where he hosted various Armenian celebrity performers and politicians. In 2016, he was awarded a gold medal by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Armenia.

What She Said Living in Dystopia Presented by ace/121 Gallery & The Association of Hysteric Curators
2020-01-17 18:00 - 21:00 | Ace 121 Gallery, 121 N. Kenwood, Glendale, CA, 91206

Throughout time and across all cultures women have held the role of prophet, oracle, seer, and diviner. Their stories warned us where our society was heading. In exchange for their wisdom they have been banned and burned, but also revered and channeled. She never stopped speaking and we never stopped listening. Sometimes it is a whisper and sometimes it is a shout.
The Exhibition “What She Said” includes 2D, 3D, and performance art, as well as free public programming. The show places focus on feminist strategies that address our current dystopian reality. “What She Said,” starts with the premise that extreme circumstances create fertile ground for visionary speculation. Many of the artists in the show address direct relationships between the vessel of the body as a channel for divinity, trauma, transmutation, birth and death. The artwork in the show addresses the way an oracular vision speaks to society today in a digital culture, integrating gazes, voices, and experiences.
“What She Said” features work by Lili Bernard, Annie Buckley, Cherie Benner Davis,Carolyn ño, Nancy Evans, Scarlett Kim and Maya Mackrandilal, Marne Lucas aka CuntemporaryArtist, Silvi Naçi, Mary Anna Pomonis, Cintia Segovia, Allison Stewart, Emily Sudd, Camilla Taylor, Paula Wilson, Jessica Wimbley, Michiko Yao, Caroline Yoo, and Dajin Yoon

The Association of Hysteric Curators (AHC) envelops a fluid, evolving, trans-generational group of feminists who seek to explore notions of female protest and the presence of gendered articulations through a non-hierarchical structure based in dialogue and exchange. As we honor the lineage of feminist models, we dare to envision a future of human equality, knowing we must interrogate the customs of today in order to enable conditions for change. As an agent of chaos and change, we posit our curatorial agenda as a figurative fault line; our research a body of water formed in a valley between two plates; our legacy the large-scale lateral movement along hundreds of miles of the fault: watch us as we spread and break down barriers, expanding and amplifying our space in society.

THE GOODBYE GIRL
Music: Marvin Hamlisch

Based on Simon’s 1977 award-winning screenplay of the same name
Based on Neil Simon’s 1977 award-winning film, THE GOODBYE GIRL follows the unlikely comic romance between Paula, a bitter single mother and former Broadway dancer who has been jilted one too many times, and Elliot, an opinionated actor who shows up unexpectedly with a lease to sublet her apartment. Musical sparks ensue. Simon’s collaborators for the musical were the legendary Marvin Hamlisch (A Chorus Line) and David Zippel (City of Angels).
After an out-of-town tryout in Chicago, THE GOODBYE GIRL opened on Broadway in 1993 starring Bernadette Peters and, in his Broadway debut, Martin Short. It ran for 188 performances, was nominated for 5 Tony® Awards and won the Drama Desk Award for Mr. Hamlisch’s brassy, giddy and rhythmic score.

Artists For Kids Presents MOUNTAINS, THE SUN & LOVE FILM BY MICHAEL POGHOSYAN
2019-11-07 19:30 - 21:30 | Alex Theatre, 216 North Brand Blvd., Glendale, CA, 91203, United States
Artists For Kids presents MOUNTAINS, THE SUN & LOVE, an Armenian language film by Michael Poghosyan.
In Moscow photojournalist Anastacia, assigned to make a photo report about Armenian Artists Union’s exhibition, stumbles on a portrait with her face. Dated 1991, it had an unfamiliar signature – Zatik. She realizes it’s a portrait of her late mother. Anastacia finds evidence in the house that leads her to conclude that the painter is her father, about whom her mother had avoided speaking.
She arrives in the village of Yenoqavan in Armenia to find him and take revenge. Zatik is famous in the village for his crazy lifestyle, eccentric behavior and love for alcohol. Despite this he is accepted and loved for being an enthusiastic person and talented painter. Anastacia hates her father’s ludicrous activities and fabricates different situations to make Zatik’s life harder. She photographs everything that reveals this unconventional painter’s true face. At last she confronts Zatik with the pictures she has taken and lashes out at him, fueled by all the pain and hate that she has held inside through the years.
Then Anastacia finds out Zatik is not her father; he was in love with her mother, but it was never mutual. Later she finds her real father, only to realize he doesn’t love her. This causes her to re-evaluate what she learned in Armenia and her feelings about Zatik, ultimately realizing he has become family to her and that she will never let him go out of her life.

Alex Film Society Presents HALLOWEEN CLASSICS! THE OLD DARK HOUSE (1932) & THE RAVEN (1935)
2019-10-27 19:00 - 21:30 | Alex Theatre, 216 North Brand Blvd., Glendale, CA, 91203, United States
Universal Studios was the undisputed master of horror and the macabre during the 1930s and 40s. The Alex Film Society celebrates the Halloween season with a pair of films featuring two of the studio’s most popular stars.
The Raven (1935) teams Boris Karloff with his frequent on-screen nemesis, Bela Lugosi. The picture highlights Edgar Allan Poe’s famous poem and features Lugosi as a Poe-obsessed mad surgeon who just happens to have a torture chamber in his basement. Karloff is a fugitive murderer on the lam who falls victim to Lugosi’s mad schemes. Both actors were at the height of their fame, making this fast-paced thriller one of Universal’s best offerings. Universal is providing an excellent 35mm print for the occasion.
The Old Dark House (1932) was assumed to be a lost classic until a film negative was discovered in the Universal vaults in 1968. It has since assumed cult-like status among fans of director James Whale, who helmed Frankenstein (1931) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935). Whale packed his offbeat take on horror with star talent including, Melvyn Douglas, Charles Laughton, Raymond Massey, Gloria Stuart and, of course, Karloff. AFS will be screening a glorious new 4K digital restoration.

Live on Stage: Illeana Douglas, Sara Karloff and Bela Lugosi, Jr.
Actress, director, author, screenwriter, and producer Illeana Douglas will be our host for the evening. She has written and produced numerous segments for Turner Classic Movies (TCM), and has participated in the annual TCM Classic Fim Festival in Hollywood. She brings a unique perspective to the AFS Halloween screening of The Old Dark House: She is the granddaughter of Melvyn Douglas, one of the stars of that film and a Hollywood legend, whose fifty-year career included staring roles in Ninotchka (1939), Hud (1963) and Being There (1979).
Ms. Douglas also hosts The Film Scene podcast, which will be streaming live from the Alex for this event, and will be signing copies of her best-selling book, I Blame Dennis Hopper: And Other Stories from a Life Lived In and Out of the Movies. She’ll be joined onstage by Bela Lugosi, Jr. and Sara Karloff for a discussion regarding “life with father.”

RIGHT ANGLE ENTERTAINMENT Presents RAFFI
2019-10-27 13:00 - 14:00 | Alex Theatre, 216 North Brand Blvd., Glendale, CA, 91203, United States
As the world’s best-selling children’s entertainer, pioneering troubadour Raffi has spent more than four decades delighting successive generations of kids — and their parents — with his playful, exuberant personality and his irresistibly infectious songs.
Raffi is a singer, songwriter, producer, author, lecturer, and tireless advocate for children. He is best known for his work as a children’s entertainer whose string of gold and platinum-selling recordings in North America includes his classic song, ‘Baby Beluga.’ Once called ‘the most popular children’s singer in the English-speaking world’ (Washington Post ) and ‘Canada’s all time children’s champion’ (Toronto Star ), Raffi is also a recipient of the Order of Canada and the United Nations’ Earth Achievement Award. He has published three books and holds four honorary degrees. He has never advertised to children or made any commercial endorsements aimed at kids. His commitment to treating his young fans with respect changed society’s outlook on music made for children.
‘It’s great fun singing for children and families,’ says Raffi. ‘As well as singing many of my fans’ favorites, I look forward to sharing a song or two from my Love Bug album and my new one, Owl Singalong — and to the sounds of all of us singing old favourites from my very first album!’
