YEREVAN, JULY 4, ARMENPRESS: 21 Tumo students produced 14 ten-second
animations of the logo for Ego Film Arts, the official website of
Academy-Award winning director Atom Egoyan. Using Garage Band to
compose music for each video, the students brainstormed and executed
the videos under the guidance of Edward Artinian, a professional
animator from California and Tumo staff member Mariam Poghosyan. The
animations will be presented to Atom Egoyan on July 8 during the
meeting-discussion to be held at Tumo center. As Armenpress was
reported by the PR, Press and Parent Coordinator at Tumo Center For
Creative Technologies Gayane Ayvazyan, the meeting of Atom Egoyan
with the Tumo students is being held in the framework of the 10th
Golden Apricot International Yerevan Film Festival.
"Egoyan will be at the Tumo Center For Creative Technologies for the
first time and the meeting might be attended not only by the students
of the center, but also people, interested in the film field, and the
guests of the Golden Apricot Festival", - stated Gayane Ayvazyan,
adding that the forthcoming discussion will last for 1-2 hours and
will touch upon the issues related to the up-to-date film industry.
Three-time Cannes IFF winner and probably the most well known filmmaker
of Armenian ethnicity, Oscar-nominated master of cinema Atom Egoyan
has collected four awards from the Toronto IFF. Born in 1960 in
Cairo to Armenian parents, Egoyan was raised in Western Canada. He
studied International Relations and Music at the University of Toronto
where he began making short films. He won attention at the Sundance
Film Festival for earlier work, then broke through critically and
commercially with The Sweet Hereafter (1997). A seven-time recipient of
Canada's top Genie Awards, Atom Egoyan is one of the most remarkable
figures of contemporary independent filmmaking. He returned to his
ethnic homeland when he filmed Calendar (1993) in Armenia. He won
the Golden Apricot Award for Ararat at the first Yerevan IFF (2004).
Egoyan has been nominated for two Academy Awards: Best Director and
Best Adapted Screenplay, both for The Sweet Hereafter. He also won
several awards at Cannes Film Festival, Toronto International Film
Festival and Genie Awards.
In 2008 Egoyan received the Dan David Prize for "Creative Rendering
of the Past".
He graduated from Trinity College at the University of Toronto. It
was at Trinity College that Egoyan came into contact with Harold
Nahabedian, the Armenian-Canadian Anglican Chaplain of Trinity
College. In interviews Egoyan credited Nahabedian for introducing him
to the language and history of his ethnic heritage. Egoyan also wrote
for the University of Toronto's Independent Weekly, The Newspaper,
during his time at the school.
Egoyan is now based in Toronto, where he lives with his wife Arsinee
Khanjian, an Armenian-Canadian actre
The film Ararat (2002) generated much publicity for Egoyan. After
Henri Verneuil's French-language film Mayrig (1991), it was the first
major motion picture to deal directly with the Armenian Genocide.
Ararat later won the Best Picture prize at the Genie Awards.
In 2004 Egoyan opened Camera Bar, a 50-seat cinema-lounge on Queen
Street West in Toronto.
In 2006, he received the Master of Cinema Award of the International
Film Festival Mannheim-Heidelberg.
Later, he directed the erotic thriller Chloe (2009), theatrically
released by Sony Pictures Classics on March 26, 2010. This film
grossed $3 million in the United States theatrically and became
one of the higher-grossing specialty films in the United States in
2010. The success of Chloe led Egoyan to receive many scripts of
erotic thrillers.
Egoyan has won four awards each at the Cannes Film Festival and the
Toronto International Film Festival.
