UK PREMIERE My Armenian Phantoms
Armenian Film Society London
Friday 5 December, 4.30pm
Friday 5 December, 8.20pm
In My Armenian Phantoms, filmmaker Tamara Stepanyan embarks on an evocative journey through the forgotten world of Armenian cinema. Sparked by a dialogue with her father, renowned Armenian actor Vigen Stepanyan, this captivating documentary brings to life the vibrant and often overlooked history interwoven with personal loss.
Drawing on a rich tapestry of archival footage and her own memories, My Armenian Phantoms reveals a profound cultural and artistic legacy to new audiences. The film explores the creative spirit behind films that spoke to universal themes of identity, love, struggle, and artistic expression - a cinematic tradition that produced some of the most visually striking and thematically powerful films of its era. It captures not just Soviet Armenian cinema, but the enduring soul of Armenian storytelling - its beauty, its struggles, and its unyielding spirit.
The screening on Friday 5 December, 8.20pm in Cinema 2, will be followed by an in-person Q&A with Tamara Stepanyan, and a DJ set by Analog Armenia in the Upper Bar.
