Tonratun (2022)
Line up: Anarchist Film Festival

Tonratun

Inna Mkhitaryan | 2022 | 85' | Armenian, EN subtitles 

In an Armenian village, five women – who are daughters, mothers and grandmothers – from several generations debate together about life and war while they prepare lavash, the Armenian traditional bread. Tonratun (bakery) is a space where women can talk openly about things considered shameful or embarrassing in Armenian society with a patriarchal tradition. While men are away, they talk to each other near the fire and mix their tears with the flour. Their words and their laughs are now their daily bread.

Anarchist Group Amsterdam (AGA), in collaboration with Filmhuis Cavia, welcomes you back to the Amsterdam Anarchist Film Festival. Seven long years after our 2019 edition, we return with an exciting programme of films meant to bring hope, anger, joy and a call to action against an ever more absurd and crumbling capitalist reality that drifts into the future on the waves of war, genocide, environmental destruction and the looming rise of techno-fascism.

From December 4th to 6th at Filmhuis Cavia, we seek to create an oasis of resistance with screenings, talks and discussions meant to build solidarity, community and nourishment for the soul and mind. Our selection of films will explore varied topics: from critiques of patriarchal norms and historical anarchist struggles to absurd loops of gender-bending fun and postcolonial malaise.
