Janapar will be showing at the next edition of the Hackney Bicycle Film Society on Monday 12th of May at the Calthorpe Arms in Bloomsbury, London. The film follows 23-year-old Englishman Tom Allen over 12,000 miles, with neither maps nor guidebooks. But the journey takes an unlikely detour when he falls in love with an Iranian-Armenian girl. Filmed over four years, Janapar — named after the Armenian word for journey — is an honest and life-affirming tale of finding what you’re looking for when you least expect it.

Why You Need the Janapar Experience

Yes, these two are sickeningly cute. Look at them all smiley and close and perfectly balanced (look how in line their products are!). Tom Allen and his wife Tenny are the main protagonists of Janapar, the latest film (and now, book) to give the UK Adventure Scene a facelift.

There's now more to adventure then men with beards (although this is important), lots of grimacing and tales of near-death experiences. The Internet exposed the myth that you need to be special and rich to have a good expedition, and now people like Tom are sharing another, much more realistic element of exploration. 

Janapar surprised a lot of people when it was first screened at the Royal Geographical Society in November 2011. In the audience were countless advocates of the effortlessly thoughtless line, 'There's nothing new left to achieve,' a bottomless statement derived from a need to compete rather than personalise, putting off potential adventurers everywhere who sadly think 'Oh well, if there's no place in the Guinness book I may as well go have a lie down.'

It took some balls to put this film out there and it's taken even more to push it as far as it has gone, Janapar's ripple effect is passionately explosive and will change the way others present their own journeys.

In fact, I don't think anyone has ever done a better job of depicting the true nature of an expedition than Tom and his Director/ Producer James Newton. The very essence of adventure is, I believe, personal development and storytelling, and by being anything less than candid when sharing ones exploits, thoughts, feelings and reasons you're cheating your audience, whether they're watching your film, or your tweets.

Heart-poundingly honest, delightfully joyful and mixing the perfect ingredients of any adventure - hilarity, misery and love - Janapar belongs on every DVD and bookshelf in the land. There should not be a stocking without it next Christmas, and let's not even get started about Valentines Day.
