Road Movie

Nora Martirosyan

"Road Movie" takes us on a bus trip through Yerevan. The basis of it is not trivial, according to Nora Martiroyan's proposal. The idea of displacement reveals the passage of time that unfolds in loops. Is it an exodus, a pilgrimage, or simply a tourist trip? We don't exactly know where we are. The music, the atmosphere, the faces give us a few indications that nevertheless remain very vague. We are solicited by the experience of the journey.

Courant D'air

Nora Martirosyan

The house is inhabited by characters from childhood, a happy childhood in a warm, sunny country. Real memories alternate with invented ones. Like in childhood things are not said but felt.

1937

Nora Martirosyan

Two chapters, two time periods, one story. On the one hand, 1937, at the height of the Stalinist purges in Erevan, in the then Soviet Armenia, the year of the arrest of Nora Dabagian’s father who was a political dissident. On the other hand, 2006, the circumstantial story of this arrest related by the old woman, affectionately known as Baboulia, who was a very young girl in the 1930s. The tense question between these two sides is how to transmit all this and what images and sensations should be conveyed?
