Vigen Chaldranyan

Kyrie Eleison

The main character - an actor and film-director - tries to live, ignoring the everyday petty struggles for survival.

Alter Ego

A film about the great Komitas, one of the victims of the Armenian Genocide, who wasn't killed, but went crazy and kept silence for 20 years

Breath

An industrial plant pollutes Lake Sevan with discharges. The public demands to close harmful production. The responsible worker, who is in charge of the plant, understands the requirements of environmentalists, but does not dare to conflict with the management.

April

In April (Armenia 1985), on the 70th anniversary of the genocide, on April 24, 1985, Vigen Chaldranyan stages a conversation between the generations in a mixture of comedy and bitter seriousness. As every year, the veterans talk about the days of the war. But while their sons can no longer hear all this, the grandchildren feel called upon to "solve the Armenian question".

The Voice in the Wilderness

Armenia in the Middle Ages ... the desert ... the bell-tower of a half-destroyed church ... Martiros languishes in the desert. His heart strikes out beyond the narrow monastic circle.

The Voice of Silence

Based on a true story, this is a subtle tale of re-affirmation of the identity of the artist following the Armenian Diaspora. It is an encounter with his alter-ego, a dialogue with his own conscience, a gradual dawning of the truth and an authentic glance at life... themes understandable by all. The film is an episode in the life of the director, a life full of surprises, and all the more so for being a cosmopolitan Armenian-American now standing on his native soil, his ultimate source of creative energy and ideas.
