International Film Festival
"Please Be Normal," a film written and directed by award-winning
filmmaker and photographer Haik Kocharian, took part in the Armenian
Panorama Competition of the Golden Apricot International Film Festival
held in Yerevan, Armenia. The film won the Jury Diploma "Armenian
Panorama Special Mention" for its expression of complex, emotional
human conditions on the screen through compelling visuals and powerful
performance. Notably, the film also shared the Queen Nuard Award for
best cinematography of more than 100 films presented by the Armenian
Association of Filmmakers.
With two screenings at the international film festival, the film
played to a full house in the Moscow Film Theater's Red Hall and was
positively received by the audience and the jury.
Filmed in New York and Connecticut, "Please Be Normal" is a bold and
visionary reflection on the universal problem of choosing the
direction of our lives. A young, struggling playwright and theater
director, Victor, and his girlfriend Mary are expecting their first
child. As Mary's Dad keeps buying them things they could never
afford, Victor's claustrophobia and sense of entrapment grows. His
inner struggle to meet their expectations seems to be guiding him
towards a way of life he is unwilling to accept.
Jean-Christophe Ferrari, the President of the Armenian Panorama Jury,
found "Please Be Normal" to be an example of Armenian cinema having
its own voice.
The official release of "Please Be Normal" in the United States is
scheduled for late fall 2014.
