Uomini Anni Vita - full

Yervant Gianikian and Angela Ricci Lucchi’s Men Years Life (Uomini Anni Vita, 1990 - its title is inspired by Ilja Ehrenburg’s famous book) is a remarkable, deep meditation on Armenian memory, the sadly-known genocide, so difficult to see in such historical images. Through rare footage and their ’classical’ method of work on found footage, they achieved a prominent movie, a pure act of anthropology of memory.
