The Last Tightrope Dancer In Armenia (Armenia, 2009, 52 min.) Two septuagenarians, the most celebrated tightrope dancers in Armenia, share the same dream – that their only remaining student will keep their daring heritage alive. An elegy to a vanishing art form, this remarkable film by director Inna Sahakyan was the winner of the Best Documentary Film at the 2011 Dance On Camera Festival.
The Metroplex's premiere online entertainment guide, DFW.com, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, and the Lone Star Film Society join forces again to present a special "Oscar Watching Party." Beginning at 7 pm, walk the red carpet at the Modern, where DFW.com's crack team of entertainment junkies will be on hand to talk about the nominated movies and tell you if your outfit is worthy of a nomination. The Oscar broadcast will be shown live via satellite in the Modern's auditorium.
