ArmInfo. The first run of "Akhtamar" took place in Moscow at Krasnaya
Presnya cinema centre during the last weekend. This is the first
project of the "Legends today", by means of which the brandy brand
ARARAT is starting rebirth of the ancient Armenian legends in modern
interpretation. The authors of the firm – Shammasyan brothers (winners
of the Cannas Festival in the nomination "young firm directors")
told about three love-stories during 15 minutes. The new sight at
ancient Armenian legend was provided by the tandem of the cinema
legend Armen Jigarkhanyan and young Russian actors Grigoriy Dobrynin
and Ravshana Kurkova.

The feelings of the heroes make the public more deeply feel the sounds
of Jivan Gasparyan’s duduk accompanying the film and help get into
the depth of the legend.

The authors of the project say that the cycle "Legends today" will
be continued. "Besides its aesthetic mission, this project aims
to globally raise the recognizability of Armenia for non-Armenian
public",- Executive Director of the Yerevan Brandy Company Ara
Grigoryan said to journalists after the show.
