Made on
Tilda
The small town of Tumanyan, in which none of us have been before, strangely looks like something very familiar, like a forgotten place from childhood. Time here goes differently, and not just slower, but in some unpredictable directions. And dreams here are vivid and memorable.
This experimental film was filmed in the city of Tumanyan in northern Armenia, as part of the animation laboratory during the Barents Festival in February 2023. The city of Tumanyan is located near the native village of the well-known Armenian storyteller Hovhannes Tumanyan, and is named after him. In these places, Sergei Parajanov created his masterpiece The Color of the Pomegranates (1969).
