Mes Fantômes Arméniens - Tamara Stepanyan

15 + 16
Nov.'25

Brussels Art Film Festival (BAFF)

Tamara Stepanyan offers a love letter to her father and reveals the fascinating, little-known images of Armenian cinema.

In a gesture both intimate and universal, Tamara Stepanyan evokes the memory of her father, actor Vigen Stepanyan, and dives into a film heritage too often reduced to clichés: static exoticism, folklore stripped of meaning, or a mere vehicle of Soviet propaganda. My Armenian Phantoms breaks away from these reductive perspectives and unveils a vibrant cinema, shaped by genocide, exile, and wars, but also by a powerful force of resilience and creativity.

Blending voice-over addressed to her father with archival footage and film excerpts, the documentary challenges our perceptions and reminds us that cinema—like memory—can never be reduced to a single narrative.
