Page 8 HYE SHARZHOOM NOVEMBER 1987 Soviet Filmakers in Fresno World Motion Picture Debut Hye Sharzhoom Staff The world premiere of the movie The Lone Walnut Tree was held on Friday, September 11, 1987 at 8:00 pm in the Warnors Theatre in Fresno. Director/actor Frunze Dovlatyan and actor Armen Djigarkhanyan were special guests from Armenia. Earlier in the day they had visited the CSUF Armenian Studies Program, the introductory Armenian langua^ class (Armenian 1 A) and had lunch with faculty and students in the Vintage Room on campus. The showing of the film was sponsored by the recently formed Armenian Film and Arts Enterprise "Erevan" which hopes to sponsor a series of films made in Armenia in the United States. The Ijone Walnut Tree was the first in this series. The film deals with a small mountain village, Lernaser, located in modem Armenia and the tensions which exist between village and city life. The village is almost deserted with the few remaining people clinging to their rich traditions. The village school headmaster has decided to celebrate the millenium of Lernaser. Invitations are sent to former villagers now living in different comers of the country. These were people who might be able to prevent the destruction of the village. However, they limit their answers to postcards only. The film then deals with the relationships of the present and former inhabitants of the village. IC Dr. Dickran Kouymjian introduced the film as well as the guests from Armenia in a premovie discussion which was held on stage. The introductions made understanding the film much easier since there were no English subtitles. The richly photograped The Lone Walnut Tree is an example of the artistic trends in the Armenian film industry. Despite some technical problems wih the sound the movie was well received. Actors Dovlatyan and Djigarkhanyan met with members of the Armenian community at a no-host dinner preceding the showing, of the film. During dinner they shared their impressions about America as well as discussing issues which are of importance in Armenia. In the near future it is expected that there will be many more Armenian films coming to Fresno.
