Javakhk: The World Keeps It Dark

Armenia
2010, 51min.

Producer: Hayk Harutyunyan, Director: Movses Gasparyan, Scriptwriter: Lilit Petrosyan, Directors of Photography: Hakob Karanfilyan, Vardan Abelyan, Composer: Edgar Hovhannisyan, Sound: Anna Vardanyan, Anahit Ghazaryan, Editors: Arman Vardanyan, Movses Gasparyan

Although the historical and cultural heritage of Javakhk has survived until now, it is disappearing. The Armenian inscriptions and khachkars (cross stones) are being broken and destroyed, and the indigenous population migrates, taking along the oral stories and soon forgetting them. All these have been presented in the film by the inhabitants of Armenian villages of Javakhk: Gimbrda, Khorenya, Gandza, Heshtya, Sukhlis, Tsugrut.
