FILM PRESENTATION BY TUFENKIAN FOUNDATION
STEPANAKERT, NKR-Saturday, December 15 was a proud day for the people of
Stepanakert and the Tufenkian Foundation. The Foundation's Scholarship
project namely Taghandavor Yeridasardner a program for
gifted-and-talented youth presented a new documentary film by young
filmmaker Jivan Avetisian.
Tufenkian Foundation had at its goal to encourage and promote talented
young film directors from Karabakh. While this genre is really not
developped in Karabakh, Tufenkian Foundation encourages young artists to
express themselves, as well as through this project learn and improve
themselves through exchanges with counterpart organizations in Yerevan.
The film "The Dawn is Peaceful in Artsakh" describes Karabakh war with
all its sufferings and daily life, through the director's artistic eye.
The presentation took place at Stepanakert Officers' House. Before an
enthusiastic audience of more than 450 people, the young filmmaker Jivan
Avetisian had a short speech: "I am grateful to Tufenkian Foundation for
its generous support of this project, as well as to all the individuals
for their input and to you all for being present today at the
presentation".
In his turn Armen Sargsian, Tufenkian Foundation Stepanakert Program
Assistant Director, noted: "The aim of the project was to encourage
young talented filmmakers in Karabakh with the hope of finding some
really talented ones. And we reached that goal and today the film
presentation proves it".
Jivan Avetisian will continue to work with other talented young
directors in Yerevan with exchanges of knowledge and methodology with
the "Manana" organization, which is also founded by Tufentian
Foundation. "Manana" has many young documentary film directors among its
members, who have won international prizes at film festivals. Through
collaboration and exchange of views we hope that young film directors
like Jivan Avetisian will improve and become future bright star of
Karabakh. The public support, as well as our financial support is very
important to achieve this goal.
The Tufenkian Foundation was established in 1999 by New York-based
entrepreneur James Tufenkian. The Foundation currently pursues a wide
array of humanitarian projects in Armenia and in Karabagh, and also
sponsors the "Armenian Forests" NGO. To learn more about the
