Don Askarian's Film School - Eng. Part 2And fourth, it's not primarily stories or scripts, not characters, or philosophies, not actors, not social ideas, not ideas in general, not themes that interest me in a film; what interests me above all in a film is the film itself, it must be a physical-spiritual-aesthetic-filmic experience, one that's either there or it's not. That's what I know, and where it comes from -- nobody really knows where it comes from, least of those who teach it. If the film is there, it is not because it has been defined by the audience, not by the producer/director, not by ratings, not in Cannes or in LA, no, it is realised through the film itself, in the context of the film, by every film, every film that has already been made and by every film that's going to be made in the future, because there is a constant dialogue going on between all films, including those as yet unmade.To recognize this deep secret reality and law of film, and to obey, yes, even to serve them - that is what I call Ontological Film Making.Most important ArmenianFilmmaker about love,ideology, movie making, Armenia homeland.http://www.don-askarian.am/shopcartin...From his first film, The Bear, to his critically acclaimed Komitas and Avetik, Don Askarian has produced magical captivating visions.Expect more coming up soon...DVDs & Posters are available for order!E-mail us to donfilm@yahoo.comDon AskarianInt.Film Fest.

It turns out to be clearer what Hans-Werner Dannowski, the president of Interfilm, meant in 1992: "Time will pass until we recognize that Don Askarian is one of the most important filmmakers of our times. His movies will take up the time they need. Finally the films will have their success not with lies and assimilations but with truth."
