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.
