Meeting with the director and producer of the film “Half Moon Bay”
Written by Zara

Discussion of the film “Half Moon Bay” with director Marine Zakaryan and producer Hovhannes Galstyan was held on November 10 at Russian-Armenian (Slavonic) University. The meeting was held within the framework of “Rolan” 10th International Film Festival for Children and Youth, organised by Armenian Rolan Bykov Foundation.

The film of Marine Zakarian is based on 4 novels of William Saroyan: “The Parsley Garden”, “Third Day after Christmas”, “The Pheasant Hunter” and “Half Moon Bay”. Half Moon Bay - the name of the city where the action of the film takes place. “The film is based on different novells of Saroyan, which have one common idea - growing up of heroes, the transition from childhood to another world, which is neither adult nor childish. In this sense, four novells were collected and divided into four parts according to seasons, because they are similar to four seasons” - said the film's director Marina Zakaryan. Marine Zakaryan and Hovhannes Galstyan answered the questions of the audience with great pleasure, spoke about the process of filmmaking in details. They also spoke about the quality of movies, and gave advice to beginner filmmakers. The screening of the movie "Half Moon Bay" was organized on November 7 in the House of Culture of RAU. The film was also presented at YSU, and on November 11 it was shown at Moscow cinema. The director of the film “Half Moon Bay” Marine Zakarian noted that big-screen movie is quite different.
