West Newton Cinema

East Coast premiere | Directed by Tamara Stepanyan 104 mins. | Armenia, France | Armenian, French with subtitles | 2025Belmont World Film's 24th International Film Series, "Thicker than 
water," explores the ties that bind—and sometimes limit us— through an 
intimate and far-reaching collection of stories about families in all 
their complexity. Across cultures and continents, these films ask what 
we inherit, what we carry, and what we owe one another.
The
 series unfolds over eight consecutive Mondays through May 18 at the 
West Newton 
Cinema, at 7:00 PM. After a two-week break, the series returns on June 1
 with three additional remarkable films in recognition of World Refugee 
Awareness Month and Pride Month.
All of the selections 
were official entries at the world’s major film festivals, with several 
receiving top honors. 
In In the Land of Arto&nbsp;Camille Cottin (Call My Agent, House of Gucci) 
stars as a wife who travels to Armenia to legalize her husband's death, 
only to learn that he lied about his military service, that he fought in
 the war, usurped his identity, and that his former friends consider him
 a deserter.
Speaker: Diana Hayrapetyan,
 Professor of Armenian at Harvard University and a PhD candidate at the 
Strassler Center for Holocaust Studies at Clark University.
