Reykjavík Documentary
Workshop
Nov 22 – Nov 24
On November 22, the 2006 documenta-
ry ‘A Story of People in War and Peace’
will be screened at the Nordic House.
The film deals with the conflict be-
tween Armenia and Azerbaijan, which
started in 1988. The director, Vardan
Hovhannisyan witnessed the battle as
a war reporter and the film is based on
the footage he shot. On November 24,
the director will give a lecture about
his film. The screening and the lecture
are both organised by the Reykjavík
Documentary Workshop, an associa-
tion whose aim is to spread the culture
of documentary filmmaking to profes-
sionals and others interested in docu-
mentaries in Iceland. The screening
starts at 20:00. For further information
see www.rdw.is.
