A Century of Armenian Cinema at the AGBU Vatche and Tamar Manoukian Cultural Center

To celebrate the centenary of legendary Armenian director Sergei Parajanov and Armenian cinema, we present an evening of early Armenian films featuring Parajanov’s 1967 short Hakob Hovnatanyan, and Hamo Beknazarian’s 1927 silent comedy Shor & Shorshor. Artyom Manukyan’s genre-defying approach to electric cello performance combines classical and jazz genres, adding further energy to these early films.

Organized by: AGBU Arts, AGBU Western Region, the Cinema Foundation of Armenia
