“1489”, interview with director Shoghakat Vardanyan
Shoghakat Vardanyan, director of 1489: “This film was a tool of survival and an act of love for me”
When Soghomon Vardanyan, 21, a music student, was close to completing his mandatory military service, Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) War flared up again in 2020. Soghomon disappeared on the seventh day of the War and his sister, musician turned director Shoghakat started filming her waiting, her search and that of her whole family to understand what happened. This is how documentary film 1489 was born and how Shoghakat Vardanyan became a filmmaker.
The film had its italian premiere at the 35th Trieste Film Festival after winning documentary festival IDFA’s best prize. The jury at the Festival wrote that the film showed how cinema could also become a “tool of survival”.
Shoghakat Vardanyan does not only agree with this definition but adds that the jury also said that cinema and this film in particular was “an act of love”.
After this experience filming herself and her whole family processing happenings, injustice and loss, Shoghakat Vardanyan confirms that she wants to pursue the filmmaking career and definitely wear the film director’s hat beside the musician’s one.
Plot
Soghomon Vardanyan, a 21-year-old student and musician, had almost finished his mandatory military service when the Nagorno-Karabakh war started, in 2020. On the seventh day of the war, Soghomon goes missing. Using her phone camera, his sister Shoghakat decides to document her and her parents’ search. The film was awarded Best Film and FIPRESCI Prize at the latest IDFA.
