The movie “American” directed by Mikael Gurjian won a new international award

The film “American” directed by Mikael Gurjian won the “Silver FIFOG 2023” award from the festival’s international feature film competition at the 18th East Geneva International Film Festival this time.
As part of the government’s program for the 100th anniversary of Armenian cinema, the cinema anniversary celebration was held with great fanfare as part of the “Armenian Day” announced in the festival program on June 17.
The 18th Geneva International Oriental Film Festival will be held from June 12 to 18.
This film received government financial support.
Mikael Gurjian’s film is the exciting story of Charlie, who was sent back to Soviet Armenia to find his homeland again. It’s about patience, hope and endless love, unconditional love even from behind bars.
Last year, this film won the “Audience Sympathy” award in Hamburg and the “Best Fiction Film” award at the Woodstock Film Festival.
