Armenia signed its first international distribution contact in Cannes
on May 18. The document is related to Hovhaness Galstyan's film
"Bond Parallels", the prizewinner of international film festivals.
Film director Hovhaness Galstyan told ArmInfo the distribution contract
was signed between Parallels Film Company and INSOMNIA World Sales
(France). The contract provides for demonstration of "Bonded Parallels"
in 40 countries. It first of all regulates the issues connected with
the Internet-distribution, TV and DVD distribution. "It is very
difficult for to enter the market. I am happy that INSOMNIA World
Sales will open such opportunities to my film," Galstyan said.
The first night of the Bonded Parallels was in 2009 on sidelines
of the Moscow International Fild Festival. The film tells about the
story of a captive solider working at a Norwegian farm at the end of
the Great Patriotic War. Norway, World War II. Hanna, whose husband
Henrik participates in the resistance movement, gives temporary
asylum to a prisoner of war, Arakel, by hiding him in her house in
northern Norway. The presence of this stranger changes Hanna's life,
and she starts writing about her mixed feelings in her diary.
USSR, Armenia, 1988. Laura, 42, a single and fiercely independent
math-teacher, lives a quiet and isolated life in Yerevan. It seems
that nothing can change her rigidly ordered daily routine until she
receives the diary of her mother, who died while giving birth to her.
As Laura learns about her parents' story for the first time - a
love story of desperation, loss and primal passion - she begins to
experience a parallel story of forbidden love in her own life.
