“When I came back after the festival excited I called all the media and informed about my victory,” tells the operator. Besides, the event spread the message as well as the Union of Cinematographers, a member of the Baptist, but, unfortunately, only a few online media and two sheets to respond to this news. “I have no opportunity to sulk, but the mind I have an opportunity,” says Baptist, not because the film is presented by America, and it is also possible that the film producers have problems with it. “

The point is that the General prizewinner “Nora” is not Armenian but American film. The American Baptist with this company still collaborates since 2006, and together are going to have to shoot the fourth film “Nora” operate the second film. “Since the Festival is estimated at only cameramen work, and the operator I, then why should not present a film by Armenia,” said the Baptist mind and without any long-thin to think the film festival presented on behalf of Armenia (in fact spoke not a dry intelligence, but fragile Armenianness).

“I imagine some success and some will progress, if took that victory to America,” says Baptist, remembering last year a festival of American film in Los-Angeles where cameramen got the best job for the prize, which did not have the weight, what this festival is the victory, but how serious importance to the progress of his or her creative work.

Armenia interesting that our fellow jury member would treat in the same way, he asked doubtedly.

Baptist says that the Azeri that last year took the festival some modest prizes, such as PR were doing as if they won the main prize. “If the internet search for the Azerbaijani name, you may find thousands of materials, and if not attempt to search for my name This festival is not related to a topic you do not find the Armenian “By the way, that’s victory in Georgia to keep aware of the Embassy of Armenia, where, however, no one has not participated in the festival.

Georgia Festival guests to accept almost all over the world. “The festival was broadcast live by Georgian Public Television, tells the operator,” Nora “was shown the hall and got a rapid response probably did not expect that there is a mixed Armenian Mate: Interviews gave many local and foreign media, including: Bi – HSBC at The Georgian Public Television has recently expressed a wish to show the film and prepare reports on the film.”

Baptist also remembers that in 2008, in New York after the film’s first screening (which was so hot was that the Armenian operator cooperation continues to date) to convince the film directors and producers to organize a second exhibition in Armenia. A few days later Mkrtich arrived, accompanied by Armenia. “We sent an invitation to the film watching our professionals of the film world, representatives of the Ministry of Culture, the media,” says Baptist, screening was attended by three or four journalists, film industry for four or five representative. “Here’s the whole interest that caused the film Armenian environment.

The film has a prize more than thirty film heroines, Nora, a girl that was born and raised in Zimbabwe and cruel temptations passing through New York, has become one of the most popular dancers.

One well-known film directors, David Hinton, examining this area afterwards and was in love with Parajanov film, on the other director Alla Kovgan, Armenian was taken to another notable film director Artavazd Peleshyanov. And as Baptist says, the film felt in two major Impacts of the Armenians. “When they elected me as a film operator, it was a very important fact that I have been Albert Yavuryan’s student,” says Baptist, and Yavuryan was the last film was Paradjanov operator.

By the way, the last victory for Armenian operatorness was signed in the Soviet years, when Yavuryanin was awarded, Yerevan Days chronic film cameramen work.

Baptist believes that this victory is a small step to raise Armenia for movie operators’ loan, because the operator in the Armenian reality is the value of the case is common, and it didn’t particularly serious concern. He also notes that film industry representatives to create a signal are reported not material but spiritual factors, which, however, also appeal to such events after “It is natural that many people, seeing that attitude, there will be no longer interested to present their work in such festivals,” says the operator, our cinema, without moreover, in good condition now, and every victory, even the youngest, is very important for us, and I was waiting for the reaction of Armenia will be more cordial. “
