Event Description
Memories of the Wind

Turkey/140 minutes


Rarely explored in film, Memories of the Wind tackles the Armenian genocide in a subtle, yet affecting way. Aram is a poet on the run in the winter of 1943.  Suspected of being a communist sympathizer, he is forced to flee Istanbul during the latter half of World War II.  He winds up in secluded expanse of forest on the Soviet-Georgian border where a boorish Turkish man named Mikhail and a beautiful young Russian woman named Meryem provide shelter. A city man unable to cope with his new forest home, Aram is overtaken by recurring nightmares of his adolescence, namely a particular, traumatic event in 1915.
