“Hokees” is about Anahida, a contemporary Armenian woman, pregnant with the child of her Turkish lover who is haunted by the past. An artistic blending of the real and unreal, the past and present are tightly woven into emotionally visual experience. In Armenian, Hokees literally means “soul” or “spirit.” Writer: Aaron Martin | Producer: Brent Barclay | Editor: Mark Baxter Cinematographer: Kim Derko | Cast: Arsinée Khanjian, John Mighton and Linda Gizirian Awards: Gold Prize for Experimental Drama, Houston Film Festival, 2000; Best Short Film, AFFMA Film Festival, 2001
