This essay-documentary film separates, assembles and layers the details that construct the fundamental truths of Armenia and Armenian identity, both large and intimate. | Torossian, Gariné Born 1970, Beirut.
Self-taught filmmaker and photographer. Mining a rich palette of colors and textures, superimpositions and dissolves, she creates stunningly sophisticated films that bridge the gaps between visual, sound art, cinema and the rock video. Eighteen of her films have shown internationally at festivals. Retrospectives of her work include New York’s Museum of Modern Art, Stan Brakhage’s first person cinema, Yerevan Cinematheque, Berlin Arsenal, and Telluride Festival. She’s been awarded prizes and mentions at Berlin, Melbourne and Houston film festivals.
