HEADBANG

Through the lens of two different young women, Leila, from secular background, and Amara, from a religious one, HEADBANG explores the complex power of the hijab, and how a seemingly simple piece of cloth embodies both what the wearer imbues it with and what society project onto to it.

Imagined Landscapes

Imagined Landscapes' is the first sight of a landscape the artist had always imagined but had never seen, as someone who grew up in the UK with a curiosity about their Armenian family. The film shows through a series of still camera shots, landscapes and medieval monasteries, alternately experienced as ancient spaces or as sites of modern conflict. 'Imagined Landscapes' explores cultural memory through landscape and examines our shifting ideas of homeland from the perspective of diaspora.

SILENCE SILENCE

SILENCE

The film is about a man expelled from paradise, who searches for traces of paradise on earth. Despite the many wonderful moments and innocent pleasures he has during the day (prayer, liturgy, lessons, singing, reading, painting), he is in search of another homeland. No one and nothing can fill the emptiness and longing of the homeland, however, the "shadow" of that very homeland allows the hero to feel only solitude, silence, nature, and self-realization.
