Yesterday I found out that there are actually pretty awesome Armenian directors living and working in Armenia.
To me this was really weird because I never saw any new Armenian film on TV, or on video. All there is for people to buy now is the stupid and pathetic series of "funny" videos, i don’t even want to try to call them films but, you know videos like "tandz@", "Mex@" etc.
What else am I supposed to think, it is all there is, film art is dead in Armenia and nobody gives **** about it.
But here, I was searching for the director that made the film for my grandpa’s (Zorayr khalapyan) short story "tteni", and with that I found this list of other Armenian directors who make films right at this point, for example
Melkonyan, Gennadiy 2000 - A Touch, feature-doc.
Mkrtchyan, Albert 2000 - A Merry Bas, co-script, dir.
Mirakyan, Armen 2000 - Crazy Angel
Baghdasaryan, Edgar 2001 - The Land of Holly Rites, feature-doc
Chaldranyan, Vigen 2001 - Symphony of Silence, co-script, dir., art
Gevorgyants, Ruben 2000 - Forever, doc.
Where are these people now? Where can I find the films that they seem to be making??
Anybody knows???
