The first line of every Armenian fairy tale, There Was, There Was Not tells the collective myth of a homeland lost forever.
THE FILM
There Was, There Was Not
Emily Mkrtichian | 2024 | US, Armenia | 94 mins
There Was, There Was Not follows four women living in the Republic of Artsakh, an unrecognized country, reckoning with the aftermath of one war while on the precipice of another. In the midst of this uncertainty, four women build a life with the hope of making their home a better place.
When war breaks out again, what began as an observational meditation on women’s roles after conflict becomes an urgent and intimate record of their lives interrupted once again by war. From taking up arms on the front lines to fleeing their homes as refugees, each woman’s life changes irrevocably. Their journey becomes the myth of a homeland lost forever, and the power of story to keep it alive.
