YEREVAN, APRIL 2, NOYAN TAPAN. Film director Ruben Kochar at the same time works on two new, "Narek" and "Such Things" feature films of the Armenian-American joint production. Shooting works of the director's "Such Things" film has already started with financing of the Blue Line American film organization and the Film Critics' Union of Armenia, and the "Narek" film is still at the preparatory stage. Ruben Kochar stated about it at the March 31 meeting at the "Urbat" club. In the director's words, consequences of films of a group of famous directors, Luc Besson, Quentin Tarantino and others, on the youth will be presented in the "Such Things" film. "The real life is absent in those films, heroes communicate in the virtual world what brings with it an unreal and confused state in their souls," the author mentioned. Hovhannes Babakhanian will play one of the leading parts of the film: it will be a role of a clergyman who also lost his belief in the virtual life and left the church. R. Kochar mentioned that works being done on the film will finish in this September, and the premierre will take place in the U. S. The director also stated that the "Narek" feature film is still at the preparatory stage: the scenario is being changed, the actors' staff is not defined yet. "This film is of much importance for me as Grigor Narekatsi is an exclusive phenomenon. His personaliy and works are a guidebook for me. My goal is to present the mystery and importance of Narekatsi's belief in this word full of ordeals," the author said. "Narek" will be shot in Armenia, and if it is possible in Turkey as well.
