'Steel Gates', by producer / director Armen Khachatryan, won Best Film
at the Festival Temps D'Images
The Armenian film was one of 34 films shown at the festival, out of a
total of 210 submissions. The director Armen Khachatryan, who also
produced the film, was able to attend the festival thanks to a grant
from the Armenian Communities Department of the Calouste Gulbenkian
Foundation.
'Steel Gates' is an intimate portrait of Armenian contemporary artist
Apresik Aloyan. Apresik lives, rather exists in a small town. "I
cherish a hope I'm going to end up with the eternal life in the
paradise", he says. He is fond of repeating the idea everything will
be okay in heaven at least, since many of us are going to bump against
the steel gates of hell. The festival's international audience was
charmed by his love of animals, many of which appeared alongside him
in the film as well as in his artwork.
The prize was one of only two awarded. The other prize went to
director Pedro Sobral's film 'Enxoval' in the Portuguese film
category.
