    HARUTYUN KHACHATRYAN'S MOVIE WINS AT TURIN FILM FESTIVAL

    December 3, 2014

    ARMENPRESS - "Endless Escape, Eternal Return" by Armenian filmmaker
    Harutyun Khachatryan won Best International Documentary at 33nd Turin
    Film Festival. The movie was also awarded 5000 Euros. 10 other movies
    had been introduced in the same nomination from the United States,
    France, Germany, UK, Brazil, Belgium, Syria and others. Harutyun
    Khachatryan stated this at the course of the press conference held
    on December 3. Among other things, the filmmaker noted that issues
    of great concern for the Armenian people have been introduced in
    the movie.

    Between the late 1980s and early 1990s, three history-making events
    shook Armenia: independence from the Soviet Union, which redrew the
    geography of an entire portion of the world; the war with Azerbaijan
    for control of Nagorno-Karabakh; and a devastating

    earthquake. These episodes forced many Armenians to leave their
    homeland. Including a man who today lives in Moscow and retraces for
    us his journey as an exile, which has lasted over twenty years.

    Harutyun Khachatryan was born in Akhalkalak, Georgia. He graduated
    in 1981 from the Film Division of the Department of Culture of the
    Armenian State Pedagogical University. Between 1981-1986, he worked as
    an assistant to director and film director at the Armenian Documentary
    Studio and between 1987-2005 he worked in Hayfilm aka Armenfilm Studio
    as director and producer. He directed films that were awarded prizes
    at various international film festivals. In 2003, he received Armenian
    Government Award and obtained recognition as Honored Artist of the
    Republic of Armenia. Director of Golden Apricot Fcd, is also co-founder
    and General Director of Yerevan International Film Festival since 2004.
