"I am classified with those directors who don’t like to speak about
their films until revising themselves. That’s why I have presented
my new film "the sunrise of sad street" to my Russian colleagues,"
said Albert Lazarian. Mr. Lazarian said that movie critic Russian
Armen Medvedev told him that was one of his best films.

The presentation of the current film took place in Gyumri, on 30
October, and then it was accessible in "Moscow" cinema. Public TV
will show the film in the coming week. The film tells about Karabakh
war, Armenian blockade and a family. Though the film is about war,
only one shooting is heard through the film. "War scenes I’ve tried to
describe through psychological war, which I guess the most frustrating
type of war," said Lazarian.

The heroes of the film are Anahit Kocharyan, Guyzh Manukyan, young
actors Vardan Lazarian and Armen Sargsyan. According to the director
of the film, most of his heroes are not actors at all. "If I see what I
need in them, I put on other spices on them myself," said the director.
