About the Film
Tevanik is a poetic and deeply human film about the consequences of war — about interrupted childhood, fractured families, regret, and the rediscovery of human values.
Structured in three chapters, the story unfolds through the perspectives of adolescents coming of age in a landscape torn apart by war:
Aram – The Sonnet A harmonious family is separated by conflict. In a single day, Aram’s childhood ends.
Astghik – The Elegy Through Astghik’s perspective, we witness how peace turns into war in an instant — friendship, love, and hope vanish overnight.
Tevanik – The Story Fourteen-year-old Tevanik becomes part of war activities. One decisive moment changes the course of his life.
International Recognition
Tevanik has received widespread international recognition, including:
* Best International Feature Film – Hollywood & Beyond Film Festival (USA, 2016)
* Best Armenian Fiction Film – Golden Apricot International Film Festival (Armenia, 2014)
* Best Film – Romania International Film Festival (2015)
* Best Screenplay – Arpa International Film Festival (USA, 2014)
The film has screened in over 30 countries worldwide.

Join us for an evening of meaningful storytelling and collective remembrance.
