Hello friends, I am a new logger to this site, and I can't wait to be one of the usual writers of cilicia.com . I am from Beirut, but it has been 3 years that I live in Yerevan. I first came for the purpose of studying, but I don't think I will be moving else where. I am a 3rd year student of directing at the state institut of theater and cinematography.It is fun studying in a place, where everyday you have access to the art life and artists of the country. It is good if you look that way, but not that fulfilling if you look as a profession. I think this the problem with all the universities in Armenia.They give a very good cultural background, but a very weak knowledge of the profession.
I also work at the AUA Papazian library. I have a part time job there. I used to work 3 days a week, but starting monday I will work everyday from 6-9 and sunday all day. it's hard a little bit, cause I will be missing all the concerts and shows, but what can we do. Nobody should complain of working.I really like it here, it's very quiet in the library, and I have all the time to me, reading, doing my lessons and some research.
Art and culture are what interest me the most. I adore cinema, because I think that it's one of the most complete arts these days.It is the syntheses of literature, painting, music, theater... I think cinema gave a lot of geniuses in one century more than any other art way could have done!
I am thinking of organising this little cine club in my house.just for the cold days comming, I will organise this "once a week" movies, classical europeen and american movies, and for sure armenian old movies....anyone interested?
This is my "routine" life in Armenia.I put routine in " " cause everyone knows that you can't have a routine life here, where everything and everyone is spontanious...that's one of the things I adore about Armenia!
Ok then , I will let you now, cause work's calling me.
I can't wait for the next time!!!
Till then bye bye and remember " Amen or Pari or"!
