Three Films by Artavazd Pelechian at BFI Southbank
Overview
Located somewhere between documentary, fiction and essay, the films of Armenian-born Artavazd Pelechian take montage beyond its Soviet realist roots in pursuit of something more challenging, more profound; he was a ‘Vertov in the era of Michael Snow.’ While the hypnotic images are often culturally specific - whether of intrepid cosmonauts or Armenian shepherds - there’s a drive towards a universalist film language that’s closer to music.
