from film MUSICIANS by Don Askarian Order DVD via donfilm@yahoo.com Documentary 76 min, Germany, Armenia,Holland- 2000. Produced by Don Film Production in co-production with Askarian Film, Film 21 and TV ZDF-3sat. I looked at Musicians and thought it was stunning and really liked what seemed to be the 'informal' structure moving between musicians and everyday sights and events. Simon Field, Director of the Int. Film Fest.Rotterdam Musicians is a nearly wordless look at the diverse strands of music found on the streets and in the clubs of Armenia today, and at the musicians who create it out of chaos. Percussionists perched in bombed-out buildings, accordionists in subway stops, brass bands roaming ancient streets, even ravers and DJs in strobe-lit dance clubs: the film captures the full range of the sounds - and the sights - of its nation's musical expression. Jason Sanders, Berkeley Art Museum/Pacific Film Archive I saw your new film entitled Musician in Yamagata.I found it very much wonderful, powerful and serene. I was so impressed... . I do hope new film will be distributed around the world. Mikiro Kato, University of Kyoto Senza parole. Just images of musicians and Armenian streets. There is no beauty to see, and because of that the movie is beautiful. http://tsja.editthispage.com Don Askarian About his films see http://www.don-askarian.am For the last 25 years Don Askarian has lived and worked in Germany, The Netherlands and in Armenia, where he founded his own film companies. He is a prize-winner at several international film festivals. In 1996 Don Askarian published his book "The Dangerous Light". Every year the interest to his really very unique films grow up. More and more film festivals come to honor Don Askarian with retrospectives. Serious TV-stations like ARD, WDR, ZDF, Channel 4, Arte, but also Belgian, Greek, Swiss, Slovakian, Armenian etc. TV Channels are constant co-producers and buyers of all his films. The films of Don Askarian were sold and broadcasted world wide about 100 times. Don Askarian, honored with a Harvard Film Archive retrospective, is considered the greatest Armenian filmmaker (but he is Russian-German- Dutch too). In 2004 he received Golden Camera Award for Life Achievement at Int. ART Film Festival, Slovakia. It turns out to be clearer what Hans-Werner Dannowski, the president of Interfilm, meant in 1992: "Time will pass until we recognize that Don Askarian is one of the most important filmmakers of our times. His movies will take up the time they need. Finally the films will have their success not with lies and assimilations but with truth." The retrospectives and special screenings around the world, on TV and important film festivals reflect it, mirror the growing interest in Don Askarian's films followed by a broad fascination by the audience. Int.Film Fest.Rotterdam named Don Askarian: King of Cinema.
