The Swimmer
Production Design
The tale of a 20th century family line of swimmers who all attempt to swim some near-impossible distance in the Black Sea.
The Color of Pomegranates
Monk
The life of the revered 18th-century Armenian poet and musician Sayat-Nova. Portraying events in the life of the artist from childhood up to his death, the movie addresses in particular his relationships with women, including his muse. The production tells Sayat-Nova's dramatic story by using both his poems and largely still camerawork, creating a work hailed as revolutionary by Mikhail Vartanov.
