Documentary about Hrant Dink to be screened in Yerevan

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian Cypriot writer Nouritza Matossian's "Heart of Two Nations" has been chosen for screening at Golden Apricot Film Festival due in Yerevan from July 13 to 21.



The documentary is about assassinated Armenian journalist Hrant Dink and his interviews with Nouritza Matossian.



Nouritza Matossian is a writer, actress, broadcaster and human rights activist. She writes on the arts, contemporary music, history and Armenia.



Matossian published the first biography and critical study of the Greek composer Iannis Xenakis, the source book on his life, architecture and music based on ten years' collaboration with him. She later adapted it into a 50-minute documentary for BBC2, entitled Something Rich and Strange.



Matossian's 1998 book Black Angel, A Life of Arshile Gorky was written after a twenty-year research. Ararat, the award-winning film by Atom Egoyan and Miramax, was partly inspired by Black Angel. She acted as consultant to Egoyan who modeled the female lead role Ani on her. Matossian also wrote and performs a solo show on Gorky's life from the viewpoint of his four beloved women with images and music, Gibrahayer reports.
