STEPANAKERT, APRIL 5, ARMENPRESS/ARTSAKHPRESS. Three-time winner of Cannes Film Festival, Canadian-Armenian film maker Atom Egoyan first of all has spiritual feelings in Artsakh, Egoyan told in an exclusive interview with “Artsakhpress”.

“What I first felt was rather powerful since my identity and national belonging is felt more strongly here and that is a feeling that does not happen every day. The more time I spend in Artsakh the more I ask myself why young film makers have never made a film about the stories I noted during these a few days”, Atom Egoyan said.

“An inner feeling must be present in order to be able to make a film in Artsakh and I will undoubtedly think on that”, Egoyan said.

At the initiative of Tufenkian Foundation famous Diaspora-Armenians Serj Tankian, Arsine Khanjian, Atom Egoyan, Erik Nazaryan and others are in Artsakh on a 3 day trip.
