We begin our second season by highlighting the underlying theme of our podcast – that all our stories deserve to be told. There is arguably no better medium than film for conveying the human condition, for allowing the audience to step into the shoes of the protagonist, to feel her pain and her joy. The ARPA International Film Festival serves as a unique platform to bolster Armenian filmmakers and grant their work a global stage. Sylvia Minassian’s passion, dedication, and love of the arts shine through as she recounts the festival’s humble beginnings and what it took to achieve the stature the festival enjoys today.

PLEASE support the festival by attending it, if you can!
