‘A selection of films by Artavazd Pelechian’

Programme:

The Seasons (Tarva Yeghanaknere) (1972, B&W, silent, 30’)
Sliding down the sides of mountains, hurtling down hills with hay bales in tow, falling into a foaming torrent: Pelechian and his camera follow the cycle of Armenian pastoral life. The harvests, transhumance and rites of those farmers are inexorably caught up in the eternal cycle of the seasons.

Au début (1967, B&W, 10')

Notre siècle (Mer Dare) (1982, B&W, 50')
