On Saturday, October 25, director and producer Tamara Stepanyan led a masterclass at the Armenian Film Society (AFS), where she shared her creative journey and explored her filmmaking process using her film “My Armenian Phantoms” as a case study.
Stepanyan, who now lives in Paris, was born in Yerevan and moved to Lebanon when she was 12. She studied film, television and communication arts at the American University of Beirut.
Her filmmaking career began with making documentaries in 2010, including “The Ganants Gyughe” (Village of Women) in 2019. Her feature documentary “My Armenian Phantoms” premiered at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival, and is a poetic dialogue among her, her actor-father, and Soviet Armenian cinema.
