The Seasons
A film-essay about Armenia’s shepherds, about the contradiction and the harmony between man and nature, scored to Vivaldi’s _Four Seasons_.
| Director | Artavazd Pelechian |

Opening – A shepherd with a sheep in arms fighting against the violent current of a river.
Slow motion – The music of Vivaldi overtakes the audio entirely, melting into the imagery: calm.
Repetitions – The shot will return, as will others, like a leitmotif.
Fixed shots and moving frames are used to capture the ceaseless movement of a series of dizzying variations whose tension is barely suspended and then revived by the three intertitles that punctuate the film.
Our senses are left excited, carried away by a visual and acoustic experience that is as intense as it is unforgettable.
