Armenian film to be screened at Louvre for the first time

An Armenian movie will be shown at the Louvre Museum for the first time.
Harutyun Khachatryan’s film entitled “Border” will be screened at the Museum on Sunday and it will be presented by world-renowned Iranian film director, Abbas Kiarostami.
“Harutyun Khachatryan has succeeded in bringing a new hero to the movies in a very unusual way. I have never seen anything like this anywhere anymore. There is a buffalo in front of you and by looking at it you understand that it, too, has consciousness and emotions. In Khachatryan’s film we see a buffalo that is more human [than many real humans]. How could such film not make an impression on me and not change my inner world?”, Abbas Kiarostami specifically wrote in the Louvre’s official website and with respect to “Border.”
To note, Harutyun Khachatryan’s “Border” is the only Armenian film to win close to fifteen international awards.
