Artavazd Achotovitch Peleshian                                                  
                                                                                
Born in 1938 in Leninakan, Armenia. Lives and works in Moscow.                  
Artavazd A. Peleshian studied cinema at the VGIK (Cinematic Institute of Moscow)
in the 1960s. It was not until later in his career that his films were          
recognized abroad, thanks to French filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard who became his    
first and most ardent supporter. Today considered as one of the most important  
filmmakers of our time, he received the Scam Prize for Television for his whole 
work in 2000.                                                                   
Inventor of an experimental "un-editing" technique, Peleshian threw aside the   
conventional rules of cinematography with his own contrapuntal editing.         
"Confronted with two important shots, the carriers of meaning, I do not try to  
bring them together, nor to confront them, but rather to create a distance      
between them..." Through this contrapuntal editing process, Peleshian creates   
an original circular type of film radically renewing the art of cinema.
