The French producer Rober Keshishyan , the author of a well-known film
"Aram", has completed the shootings of a new documentary film named
"Renascent Armenia".
As the producer's representative in Armenia, Haik Martorossyan, told
ArmInfo correspondent, the clients of the film shootings are several
French film-production companies. "I will not touch upon the Armenian
Genocide subject in this film since the "Aram" film had done it",
Keshishyan said. In his opinion, the Armenians are associated for the
European audience with the Genocide subject only, thus, it is time
to show Armenia as a developing and prosperous country. "I want to
show the modern Yerevan to the West, the culture of Armenians with
its rich history", Keshishyan noted. For this purpose, the producer
has already managed to shoot in Armenia a historical-cultural unique
monuments of the Armenian people.
Keshishyan has also decided to make a film about the Sept 30 Yerevan
concert of great Charles Aznavour. The film will show the concert
through the eyes of the audience. The project will be shown in Europe
in Jan-Feb 2007.
To note, Robert Keshishyan is economist, historian and expert on modern
literature but has been making films since 1986. He has taken part in
such projects as Beaumarchais, Bribe, Taxi, Asterix & Obelix: Mission
Cleopatre. The Armenian audience knows him better for his films Born
Rome! and Aram. The latter film is a story of French Armenian fidai -
a mixture of drama and thriller about the hard consequences of the
Armenian Genocide.
