Original subtitles

Many people mistakenly believe, my films installation.

It has long been known that 1 frame, faced to install a different frame creates a movie.

Mounting theory pay attention the ratio between adjacent frames.

On the experience of his work, I was convinced, that I was interested in something else,

that the main essence of the installation work is for me not gluing frames

and putting them, is not in their "docking" and their "undocking".

This installation is what I call the remote. ideological sense, I want to express,

is best achieved in the interaction frames through many links.

This is achieved much more powerful and profound expression of meaning.

When I come to this country, I if absorbs the rest of Europe.

To me always comes inspiration, when I looked at the city from above,

and every time I wanted to find himself in its womb

or on board the balloon, as a balloonist Dzhanotso,

zapasshis horn and military binoculars,

unprepared to fall to the ground.

I lived in one of these huge mansions built on the ruins of the Arbat.

Peleshyan lived not far from us, waiting for the right hour.

Artavazd Peleshyan - silent warrior on their own.

As a writer who knows the story, \ N he can imagine it, to dream,

but he will never be able to someone tell it.

In his films there is no place to dialogue,

for the works he chose the most difficult way,

Defying the time.

And in this movie, he did not say a word.

Peleshyan wanted to see their teachers in the cemeteries of the city.

Leonid Christie

Sergei Gerasimov,

Elem Klimov.

In 1963, he was a young man mountain of Armenia, arrived in Moscow.

Peleshyan born in Leninakan, the Soviet Armenian town,

but he arrived from Yerevan, where he worked industrial designer.

Victor DeMille described it, as a very thin, slightly stooped

and shy man with a calm and kind eyes.

His eyes were so naive, that it seemed he was faking.

He did not know what to do with his long arms,

he hid them in his pockets, held their cigarettes

or gesticulated,

showing the word and leading hands like a blind man.

Peleshyan took VGIK

at the behest of Leonid Christie

who was bewitched talent this strange entrant,

He brought with him just one book - "textbook Cinematography" for bravery.

Christie, irritated doubts Commission threatened

What if they do not accept Peleshyan, and he will give up his seat.

The answer was Peleshyan film "Home"

The film was dedicated to the fiftieth anniversary of the October Revolution.

Those who refused to advance him to obtain a diploma,

We received in response to the film "Menk",

which in Armenian means "We"

on the return of Armenians to their lands,

at the height of Mount Ararat.

I first looked unpublished Artavazd

in a small room, the Moscow Cinema House.

It was interesting to see the his younger,

a student of VGIK.

It was the day of his exam,

We sat in the examination committee

Alexander Medvedkïn

Vasily Shukshin,

Leo Kulidzhanov

and in the audience, Alexander Khokhlov.

Among the older films were also shots

training film with cosmonaut Leonov,

the first man, walk in space,

and finally, the return of Peleshyan to his hometown,

meets his mother, standing in the crowd.

Lonely thinker in the land of the people

like a planet revolving around its axis.

He expects a disaster, hanging over mankind.

Telluric and cosmic vision, dark shadows

delineating the space waiting for images and forms.

Peleshyan always believed that to say word - to perform an act of violence,

that the human word, invented for communication,

unable to convey, that could or may contain film.

Sometimes I felt helpless before rigor and silence.

We chased him like in the movies about the war and filmed very little.

2 or 5 minutes a day. Socially - a pair of rollers.

It was enough to see him on his face, but not the words.

There is always the authors, telling the story.

Artavazd Peleshyan led us to wherever he wanted,

and we were happy to follow him there, where he offered us to be or not to be.

In "Journey to Armenia" Osip Mandelstam wrote:

"There is nothing more instructive and joyful,

than immersing themselves in the society completely different race of people,

race that respect, that sympathize, which vchuzhe proud.

Vital filling Armenians

their rough tenderness, their noble labor bone

their inexplicable aversion to any metaphysics

and a great familiarity the world of real things. "

His unreleased movies are awaiting assembly

like spaceships.

"Homo Sapiens" - one of them.

The glorification of art and beauty,

creativity and beauty.

The film, which tells of paradise on earth,

which broke out bloody battles,

and the hardness of pride blind people.

The dream faded, waiting for embodied in art,

which sealed movement of all matter.

Peleshyan wrote:

"I am in constant \ N the conflict over time.

It is not clear if you can beat him, decelerate or whether it will go faster.

I know what I want, but I do not know what he wants time.

Hence the conflict.

Of course, I do not extortion time

but I am convinced that the movie could convince the time.

Maybe what I fighting with him, denigrating me. "
