    Public Television stations across the US will air an award-winning
    documentary about the Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict on Sunday October 24.

    "A Story of People in War and Peace," directed by Vardan
    Hovhannisyan,is a powerful and passionate portrayal of life in the
    trenches for Armenian soldiers and medics struggling to defend their
    homeland as the Soviet Union collapses.

    The film has already screened on BBC, ARTE and other international
    channels, and has won over 20 awards including the FIPRESCI
    (International Federation of Film Critics) prize. For Hovhannisyan,
    the film garnered a Best New Documentary Filmmaker Prize at the
    Tribeca Film Festival in New York for the film.

    The screening will come a week after public television aired another
    Armenian documentary on Sunday October 17-"The Last Tightrope Dancer
    in Armenia."

    The film is the acclaimed work of two young filmmakers-Inna Sahakyan
    and Arman Yeritsyan. It is a warm, thoughtful, beautifully-shot
    story about the dying art of tightrope dancers, and the continuing
    competition and camaraderie between two old masters, and the hopes
    they place on one young artist.

    Both Sahakyan and Yeritsyan have produced several documentaries
    over the last decade. Sahakyan has directed more than 10 social
    documentaries for Armenian television and worked as assistant director
    on "A Story of People in War and Peace." Yeritsyan has directed a
    number of award-winning documentaries including,"Under the Open Sky"
    and "Goodbye Fellini."

    Both films are produced by Bars Media, which was established by Vardan
    Hovhannisyan in 1993. Bars Media specializes in producing documentaries
    on human stories, culture, history and other social issues. The studio
    currently develops documentary films in Africa, Russia and Afghanistan.
