19:20, 15 January, 2014
YEREVAN, JANUARY 15, ARMENPRESS. The film director Mariam Ohanyan
needs financial aid for completing "Armenian heritage of Transylvania"
film. The film director has begun fund-raising through indiegogo.com
website to solve the problem and complete the film.
Already 13 dollars were transferred to the site.
"Armenpress" reports that for the first time three hundred Armenian
families from Ani (medieval capital of Armenia) arrived in Transylvania
in 1672. They established four towns Gyergyoszentmiklos, Erzsebetvaros,
Szamosújvar, Csíkszepvíz (their Romanian names: Gheorghieni,
Dumbraveni, Gherla, Frumoasa). By that time the Armenians had already
adopted Catholicism unlike Apostolic Christianity, which had been
characteristic of them initially. In all the cities founded by them,
they constructed churches, schools, houses, promoted the active
development of trade and production.
The assimilation to the Hungarian culture happened naturally as a
result of co-existence of these communities. In spite of assimilation
the memory about Armenian roots is very strong. The Hungarians have
preserved the Armenian language in some psalms, and carefully preserved
the recipes of traditional Armenian food and also legends which have
survived to this day.
The film "Armenian Heritage of Transylvania" is a travel about Romania
together with Hungarian-Armenians Szabolcs and Laszlo This film is
very important, because it gives possibility to see the role and
influence of Armenians on the culture of that region.
Mariam Ohanyan was born in Yerevan. Graduated from Yerevan State
University. She shot more than 10 films, which participated in
different Film Festivals, received prizes. Since 2004 she is founder
and director of International Women's Film Festival KIN.
