Join us for the inaugural Armenian Institute Film Club to meet filmmaker Oksana Mirzoyan in conversation with our director Tatevik Ayvazyan. 3 of her short films will be available to watch on our website ahead of the events, details coming soon.
Oksana Mirzoyan (born in Azerbaijan, 1984) is an Armenian-American artist focused on narrative filmmaking as a writer/director/producer. Mirzoyan’s films have shown and been awarded internationally at festivals such as Clermand-Ferrand, Camerimage and Locarno. Her short “140 Drams" was an honoree of the Cinematographer’s Guild of America and won Best Short Film at Izmir Film Festival. Mirzoyan is based in Detroit where she is a Kresge Art Fellow and the Detroit Institute of Arts held a solo exhibition of her narrative shorts “140 Drams,” Sonnet” and “Susanna.”
Currently she is working on her first feature, “Abysm" which explores the ongoing conflict in Nagorno-Karabagh in the South Caucasus. The film has won Locarno Film Festival’s Open Doors Prize, along with support from the George Foundation. Mirzoyan has been recently experimenting with sculpture and installation work. She loves to build dream worlds.
