Homeless

Lori, a Syrian-Armenian girl living in Armenia, believes her father is taking her on a summer trip. When she learns that her family is really leaving Armenia after already fleeing the war in Syria, she tries whatever she can to stay in a place that has great meaning for her.

Alik Tamar is an Armenian-American independent filmmaker currently based in New York. Born in the U.S., she grew up in a family of performing artists from war-torn Lebanon. Alik’s background and exposure to the arts shaped her desire to explore the human experience through storytelling. In 2016, she earned her MFA in filmmaking from New York University’s prestigious graduate film program. Alik is currently developing her first feature film.
