Music for Projections

We always pay a lot of attention to music in our films, since we all like music in general (those who has been to our studio, has probably seen Moush’s guitar), and we usually don’t work with people who listen to crap. Seriously.

The work on music for our new project, Projections, has been especially interesting. Since the videos are quite experimental, we wanted the soundtracks to be really cool by themselves.

So, we’re proud to work with two different groups of artists on these video series.

Music for one of the films is written and performed by Hugh Wilson and Lindsay Jehan, the authors of the well-known “Falling Away”, the one you probably know from the cool Sprite commercial.

The music for the other film is from Raised by Swans (they are also known for the music for “Chloe” by Atom Egoyan), one of our most favorite bands, which made the experience of working with them especially enjoyable. For example, here is one of my personal favorites.

So, once again, our biggest thanks and gratitude to these wonderful people for taking Projections to a new level with their work, and doing that simultaneously from Canada and New York to Singapore. Thank you guys a lot for believing in this project.

Neighbors premiere screening in Istanbul

Yesterday was the day we were waiting for so long. Neighbors was finally screened for the first time. It was a special screening in frames of Istanbul International Film Festival, in an event organized by Anadolu Kultur and Golden Apricot. The film was screened together with other films made on Armenia Turkey Cinema Platform; Galata by Diana Kardumyan, Master of Doves by Arthur Sukiasyan, Puppet Theatre by Canay Ozden, and Don’t Get Lost Children by Gulengul Altinas.

Since the interest towards these films is rising, Anadolu Kultur will probably organize an additional screening later here. 

Our huge thanks again to all the organizers for this great event, but we have to fly back to Yerevan to finish the Projections and all the other stuff. You know, really cool stuff.

Moving a Mountain is nominated again

Yes, Moving a Mountain again got nominated, this time in International Festival of Film & Culture in Greece. The event will take place in August 1-8, 2011 in Patras City.

So, this is already the fourth international festival in this film’s event history, including one Best documentary film award. It’s not bad I would say, but this is still the first quarter of the year, we look forward for more good news.

If you haven’t seen the film yet, we strongly recommend you to watch it, since it’s available online in HD, as well as on DVD now.

New project and shootings

Our studio keeps generating new awesome ideas and projects all the time, so that our audience, all those cool, good-looking, interesting and intellectual people can have more and more visual food of a good quality for their unresting minds.

Projections is one of the new and experimental projects we’ve been working on since the beginning of this year, and started the shootings in March. It’s a series of PSA-s about civil society and importance of being an active citizen. Series contain three one-minute-long advertisements, all done with experimental technique and style.

All three films will be ready and available on our website in the highest quality in mid-April, as well as broadcasted by several TV channels of Armenia. And maybe some other places too, I don’t know.

Meanwhile, check some photos from the shootings on our website, and on our Facebook page.
