Cinema Through Web: A new Platform for Armenian Young Directors
A new website has been launched in Armenian web world to serve as a resource center for amateur film makers and young directors, movie and cinematography fans, as well as for general audience. The first Film Portal in Armenia will provide information on Armenian cinematography, regularly updated news about local and international movie industry, news about actors, interesting facts from their lives, etc. The founder of www.cinematic.am is Vahan Gasparyan, student of directing department of Yerevan State Pedagogical University. According to him, the website will enable young directors an opportunity to demonstrate their works and receive professional feedback from more experienced colleagues and general audience for further improvements. As a young director Gasparyan is familiar with the difficulties that a young director could encounter. “One of the main goals of our website is to present works by the young directors of Armenia, to help them do their first steps in the world of cinema production,” says Vahan Gasparyan. The website visitors can also download video materials created by the young Armenian movie directors. According to the website founders soon a new page about Armenian cinematography, chronology and Armenian artists will be opened. Vahan’s initiative has been already welcomed by his contemporary colleagues. One of them is Jivan Avetisyan, young director of the documentary “Mkhatsokh Patruyg” (“Smoldering Fuse”), who is glad that there is a website allowing online demonstration of the young directors' works. “The film festivals are not always open for the young directors to be presented to wider public; they should have a good support or a sponsor able to solve all the problems, this being not always realistic. So this website may be useful in this regard,” says Jivan. In the news category of the website there will be also information about the current films screened in Yerevan cinema halls. Once per month the founder of cinematic.am will organize film screening in one of the film clubs of the city. “We try to find unknown films produced by great masters which haven’t yet been shown on wide screen or on TV, thus providing the film fans an alternative choice to find something new and maybe interesting for them,” says Vahan.
