A Fire There (French: Un feu au loin) is a Canadian documentary film written and directed by Marlene Edoyan. Taking place in a remote southern Georgian village near the Armenian border, it follows three young men navigating the tension between inherited traditions and their aspirations to shape their own futures.[1]
Synopsis
[edit]Set in the remote southern Georgian village of Gandzani, bordering Armenia, the film offers an impressionistic portrait of an Armenian community shaped by exile, lingering Soviet-era nostalgia, and rigid social structures. It follows three friends on the cusp of adulthood, caught between tradition and the desire to forge their own path.
Distribution
[edit]The film had its world premiere at the International Feature Film Competition at Visions du Réel 2026 in Nyon,[2] before its North American premiere at Hot Docs in the Canadian Spectrum program.[3] Filmotor acquired world sales rights. Les Films du 3 Mars (F3M) is the Canadian distributor.[4]
It is slated to screen in the National Competition at the 2026 Festival du nouveau cinéma.[5]
