Calendar
Description
Arizona International Film Festival program film description: Critically acclaimed as Atom Egoyan's finest film to date, Calendar follows a Canadian photographer of Armenian descent (Egoyan, an Armenian completely assimilated into Canadian culture) as he travels to photograph twelve historic churches for a calendar. So obsessed is he with the technical demands of his assignment that he appreciates neither the historical significance of the churches, nor that his wife (Arsinee Khanjian, Egoyan's wife, an Armenian raised in a large Armenian community outside of Armenia) has begun an affair with their guide (Ashot Adamian, an Armenian born and raised in Armenia). Technically brilliant and psychologically complex, Calendar is Egoyan's fascinating attempt to explore his own ethnic identity.
