Film screening at NAI

On December 7th, Naregatsi Art Institute Shoushi Center hosted the screening of the film "Spitak".
This year marks the 31st anniversary of the Spitak earthquake, and in memory of the thousands of victims, we organized the screening of the Russian-Armenian feature film about the devastating earthquake of December 7, 1988.

The movie's hero Gor, who left Armenia in search of a better life, after the earthquake returned home from Moscow to find his house and family. The disaster had destroyed everything. At the disaster site, Gor encountered different characters, each with their own tragedy. The locals were trying to find their loved ones alive or dead. Doctors were trying to help the survivors, working day and night despite the lack of medicines, performing surgeries with the materials at hand. Soldiers, volunteers risked their lives to clear the rubble. Gor, finding his family, refused to return to Moscow and continues to help others.

The film "Spitak" won the Best Director Award at the Moscow International Film Festival, and Special Excellence Award at Accolade Global Film Competition.

The screening was attended by the residents from Stepanakert, Shoushi, and from Gyumri as well.
