YEREVAN, DECEMBER 1, ARMENPRESS: "If Only Everyone", which has entered
into "Oscar" award list in nomination of "the Best Foreign Language
Film", has got great reviews from the international media.
Everyday international journals refer to the film. As reports
Armenpress today The China Post turned upon the history of the film
and stated that "the movie was conceived as a story of how humanity
triumphs over prejudice~T. The film, "If Only Everyone," tells the
story of an Armenian man who helps a half-Russian, half-Armenian woman
go to her father's grave and plant a tree there. The father died in
the early-1990s conflict over Nagorno Karabakh. The journal states:
"Since a cease-fire was signed in 1994, no peace deal has been
signed, and little progress has been made toward an agreement on a
final status for Karabakh." The film's protagonists have to cross
the Armenian-Azerbaijani front line. There they meet an Azerbaijani
shepherd, who asks them to plant a tree on his son's grave when they
return to the Armenian side.
Actor Michael Poghosyan, who wrote the screenplay, stated: "The story
for the film was written in 2010, and filming began in spring 2010.
Before we wrote the story, we met people, who had lived through the
Artsakh heroic battle."
This is the fourth work that Armenia's film academy has submitted for
consideration for an Oscar, but the first to be officially nominated.
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences accepts a single
submission from each country for the best foreign-language film prize,
and its members vote for a shortlist and then the winner.
This year, a record of 71 films have been accepted as submissions,
including first entries from Armenia and Azerbaijan.
