Arshak Khachaturian

A documentary film about the creative life of Aram Vardani. His music becomes the language of the city, where sounds replace words and rhythms reflect the pulse of urban life.

The film explores how music can transform words into colors, creating a unique emotional space where the personal and the urban merge into a single artistic flow.

A short film reimagining Othello through the perspective of Iago not as a secondary villain, but as the hidden center of the tragedy. Humiliated and overlooked, he experiences rejection and an inner fracture that slowly transforms into cold, calculated revenge. Iago moves like a shadow, subtly guiding words, glances, and actions, dismantling the trust between Othello and Desdemona. The film is built around key highlights of his manipulation quiet interventions that lead to catastrophe. It is less a story about jealousy than about a wounded ego turned into a weapon, and a man who destroys a world while remaining unseen.

A single ordinary day in a big city. The heroine of the film is never fully revealed we see only her feet, her steps, the rhythm of her movement. Through this movement, we travel with her across the city, discovering fragments of her day. In the morning, she leaves her home and merges with the urban flow. She walks through the streets, passing dusty construction sites where the city’s constant transformation blends with everyday life. She goes to work, then stops at a small café, where the usual chaos continues. Traffic builds, people wait at bus stops, cars stand still, and the noise of construction fills the air. Within this environment, her steps move forward, becoming part of the city’s rhythm. By the end of the day, she meets her lover. Once again, we see only feet, small gestures, subtle movements. The film becomes a collage of urban moments a mixture of staged and documentary observation where the invisible presence of one woman connects the scattered pieces of the city’s life.
