Ararat - Fourteen Views (2007)

Sobre o filme

A series of controlled improvisations. They focus on the holy Armenian mountain Ararat that is out of reach in Turkey. According to Biblical tradition, Noah saw the first land here again after the Great Flood. So it is difficult for Christian Armenians that the mountain is just over the border in Islamic Turkey. They can only look at it. The filmmaker Don Askarian improvises on his fourteen views in such a monitored and imaginative way that a new reality seems to emerge. A reality that seems to float between magic and truth and wants to shirk time and space. Armenian culture had to be fought for in a tragic history. The film makes this tangible too. This beautiful mountain has experienced and seen a lot, before and after the Great Flood.
