AYF to Host ‘Listen to Me’ film screening, discussion on Dec. 18, 2016 at the Glendale Youth Center
GLENDALE—The Armenian Youth Federation – Western Region’s United Human Rights Council (AYF UHRC) is hosting a screening and discussion of Gagik Ghazareh’s documentary ‘Listen to Me: Untold Stories Beyond Hatred’, a documentary about Armenia’s LGBT community, on Sunday, December 18 at 5pm at the Glendale Youth Center at 211 West Chestnut St. Glendale, California 91204. The event is co-sponsored by the Gay and Lesbian Armenian Society (GALAS).
The 75-minute documentary film — produced by PINK Armenia with support from the United States Embassy in Yerevan — follows the lives of ten LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) people in Armenia in order to tell the stories of those whose voices are not heard and to change the image of LGBT people in Armenia. The film is in Armenian with English subtitles. Read an in-depth review of the film in the Armenian Weekly.
The event is free and open to the public. Doors open at 5pm, film begins promptly at 5:30pm, followed by a discussion at 7pm. Address and more information can be found on the Facebook event page.
“With successful screenings in both Armenia and France, it’s exciting and important that AYF will be partnering with GALAS to host the first screening in Los Angeles — let alone in the United States. This is an inclusive space that will bring out many different groups within the Armenian community and I find it is so incredibly valuable for everyone to be present and support,â€
