PanARMENIAN.Net - Anahit animation film, based on beloved folklorist
Ghazaros Aghayan's fairytale, will premiere in early December, the
film co-author toldPanARMENIAN.Net
According to David Sahakyants, with film production mostly finalized,
the animation will be shown in cinemas during a month, to be followed
by a festival tour.
"We received an invitation to participate in Toronto Festival, yet had
to refuse because of timing: the festival is due in November, while
the film will debut in December," Sahakyants, who didn't rule out
participation next year, said.
Production on the animation, financed by the Ministry of Culture,
launched back in 2010, scheduled to be completed in 2012 but delayed
over additional episodes that required filming.
The stellar voice cast of Anahit includes Rafael Kotanjyan, Hrant
Tokhatyan, Shushan Petrosyan, Nazeni Hovhannisyan, Mkrtich Arzumanyan,
David Babayan, Vardan Zadoyan, Khoren Levonyan.
The film soundtrack includes songs by Shushan Petrosyan, Gor Sujyan,
Tigran Petrosyan, Nick Egibyan, Hasmik Karapetyan and Akunq
ethnographic ensemble.
"Upon completion of production, we'll apply to a number of festivals
for participation. After dubbing, the film will be screened in Russia,
with the authors planning an English-language version as well,"
Sahakyants said.
