Artavazd Achotovitch Pelechian



Born in 1938 in Leninakan, Armenia. Lives and works in Moscow
Artavazd A. Pelechian studied cinema at the VGIK (Cinematic Institute of Moscow) in the 1960s. It was not until later in his career that his films were recognized abroad, thanks to French filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard who became his first and most ardent supporter. Today considered as one of the most important filmmakers of our time, he received the Scam Prize for Television for his whole work in 2000.
Inventor of an experimental "un-editing" technique, Pelechian threw aside the conventional rules of cinematography with his own contrapuntal editing. " Confronted with two important shots, the carriers of meaning, I do not try to bring them together, nor to confront them, but rather to create a distance between them..."
Through this contrapuntal editing process, Pelechian creates an original circular type of film radically renewing the art of cinema.
