Artavadz Pelechian, Les Saisons, 1975
film en 35 mm, Noir et blanc, 30 mn - Photo : M. Vartanov, B. Hovsepian, G. Tchavouchian - Montage : Aida Galstian - Musique : Vivaldi, V. Kharlamenko - Production : Studio Erevan.
The last collaboration of Armenia's two most important documentary auteurs, Mikhail Vartanov and Artavazd Pelechian. The first was Osennyaya pastoral (1971) which Artavazd Pelechian wrote and Vartanov directed and this film the Seasons of the Year (1975) which Pelechian directed and for the first time used no archive footage likely due to the exquisite cinematography by Vartanov. Pelechian's brilliant Seasons of the Year is probably one of the 3 most important documentary films made in Armenia, along with Paradjanov's Hakob Hovnatanyan (1967) and Vardanov's Parajanov: The Last Spring (1992). Seasons of the Year is an outstanding look at the co-existence of Nature and People and is perhaps Pelechian's best film after which 8 years passed before he made another one.
