Lost and Found in Armenia, a new film directed by the award winning
Gor Kirakosian, produced by Valerie McCaffrey and Maral Djerejian
(of Red Tie Films) was first screened in Los Angeles for the cast,
crew and local community members.
Lost and Found in Armenia is the first American production to shoot
in Armenia. The story portrays the comedic adventures of an American
tourist, played by Jamie Kennedy, who experiences a turn of events
and finds himself in a small village in Armenia. In that village he
meets a beautiful Armenian girl, played by Angela Sarafyan who guides
him throughout his travels.
The film is the first of its kind, exemplifying the bond of
culture that exists between the United States and Armenia as well as
highlighting Hollywood's desire to engage its large Armenian-American
population.
Blessed by an Armenian priest on the first day of shooting, Lost and
Found is a bilingual film which brings light to not only Armenian
language but culture through the lens of Hollywood.
The screening involved a diverse audience as well as prominent members
of the Armenian community in Los Angeles, including the Consul General
of the Republic of Armenia.
The film has been sent to the Cannes Festival. In April it will become
clear whether it will be included in the list of films to participate
in the festival. Before that the authors are negotiating with American
cinemas to ensure the entry of the film to the American cinema world.
