Moscow cinema to host screening of My Ani documentary June 15

On June 15, Moscow cinema will host premiere screening of My Ani documentary created by AZD Production (producer and filmmaker Hayk Harutyunyan, script writer – Temine Hayrumyan.) The film presents the history of medieval Armenia’s capital – Ani.

In it, the temples, palaces and churches of Ani are restored to their original appearance through the assistance of 3D animation.

Producer Hayk Harutyunyan said there is demand for popular-science films about Armenia’s history. “In my opinion, they should be included in the compulsory state program of education, since the Armenian youth should know the history of Ani, Cilicia, Western Armenia, since our culture had formed their for centuries,” Harutyunyan said, adding that production of patriotic films should be financed by the state.
