Chants from a Holy Book
In the film’s own words, "the objective is to recreate in five chants the synergy that generates revolutions." In 2018, a wave of protests toppled the political oligarchy that perpetuated power for over a decade in Armenia, in what became known as the Velvet Revolution. Thoughtfully staged and split into separate acts, or "chants," each is a film unto itself—microcosm, self, home, society, and macrocosm. Experimental elements are used to suggest connections through images, while voiceovers and text overlays provide historical and social context to the images.
