SYNOPSIS
Creation Formula is documentary about the Armenian composer and piano performer Arno Babajanyan, a People’s Artist of USSR and Armenia. “Whatever I compose has an Armenian soul”: the talented artist symbolicly confessed. His creative and performing career lasted for about half a century and from the begining attracted the attention of the art society. The film is not biographical even though the director has tried to represent the composer’s stories with a humorous approach.
