Support the alumni project "Traversed"

Traversed is a short documentary that will depict its character -Armenia - through the stories of its vast primordial landscapes, ancient churches, rural villages, fields cultivated by families and small communities, industrial factories left over from the Soviet era, and its cities, growing and changing by the minute as they open up to the world of global trade and capitalism. In addition to the visual stories of Armenia, we will be collecting the stories of people we meet along the way, creating poetic pairings of the two as we move through the film.

The directors, Alex Igidbashian and Emily Mkrtichian are former Birthright Armenia alumni who decided to live and work in Armenia after volunteering. They met while working at Bars Media Film Studio, where they made documentary films for international broadcasters such as ARTE France and Germany. Eventually, they decided that they wanted to combine their talents and experience to make something independently, a film that has an intimate insiders view of the country, but also a more universal perspective that can appeal to a diverse, international audience and inspire people to learn more about this amazing place they may never have heard of.
