Memory at the Borders: online documentary screening and discussion with the director Sascha Klamp
Armenian Institute
Join us for an online screening of The Art of Seeing, the Art of Remembering, in the presence of the director, Sascha Klamp.
Klamp worked closely with two communities residing in Armenian border villages to produce this award-winning documentary film. His captivating 23-minute short is significantly informed by the discipline of ethnology, the study of cultures and societies. It delves deep into the customs, traditions, and collective memory of these communities. The film definitely explores the establishment of a community archive, with village elders playing a crucial role in preserving their cultural heritage. Klamp captured the essence of intergenerational knowledge transfer and the significance of preserving a community's identity. Klamp’s work in Armenia is inspired by his wife's heritage and explores universal themes of memory and identity that resonate beyond the Armenian experience. This online screening will be followed by a Q&A with the director.
