    • Synopsis
    • In 2020, the director of the film lost her father, Vigen Stepanyan, brutally. He was a popular theater and film actor in Armenia. The grief caused by his death was all the greater because she imagined that they still had a lot of time to talk. My Armenian Phantoms was
      born out of this interrupted dialogue.
      The evocation of her father's ghost led Tamara Stepanyan into a round of ghosts with whom she began to dialogue: her grandparents who worked in the film industry, actors and filmmakers who were friends of her father, and then, little by little, one thing led to another, large parts of the past of Soviet Armenian cinema came back to her.
      What kind of history did this cinema focus on? What were the feelings expressed? What were the ideas expressed? And finally, why were films of such high artistic quality directed in Armenia during this period were so little known outside the borders of my country?
      By delving into my past and my memories, giving free reign to my thoughts and reveries, I propose this journey into the history of Armenian Soviet cinema.
