Armenia(s), age of the artists

Today there is an Armenian artistic world in France and in the world that expresses itself, reflects on its identity, its history, but always with this concern to be, at the same time, deeply rooted in the culture of adoption.

To testify to this cultural richness, this documentary film aims to tell the story of this link and its transmission, by highlighting the creative force of artists of Armenian origin through the generations.

The subject of the film is therefore this: to make the portrait of these artists who agreed to tell their story and what had brought them to artistic creation. As well as their children, who have become artists in their turn, and who have spoken of what has transmitted Armenian culture through art.
