Comes Chahbazian

Here, Elsewhere - ENFF

Unable to film in Nagorno-Karabakh himself, the filmmaker asks his friends to document their final months there. Two months later, war breaks out.

July 2023. Nagorno-Karabakh has been under siege by Azerbaijan for seven months. Sensing the approach of war, Lebanese-Armenian-Belgian filmmaker Comes Chahbazian asks his friend Artsiv to film his daily life with his wife, Tatev, and their five children. Following his instructions, the couple records their lives on a mobile phone, capturing the rhythms of family life amid isolation, uncertainty and the growing threat of war. Through images of striking tenderness, a quiet resistance emerges – that of a people on the verge of having to flee their homeland for good. 

Screenings will be followed by Q&A with the director Comes Chahbazian.
