Description du film [en anglais] :
« Girl From Moush meshes traditional images of Armenian countryscapes with a haunting voiceover, rich in memory and longing. Gariné Torossian's cut-and-paste technique disassembles and rearranges the material of film in pulsating cubist style. »

Citation sur Girl from Moush [en anglais]

« Consisting of a range of material shot on super 8 and then processed again on an optical printer using a number of methods that highlight the film's status as representation [...] [Girl from Moush] is a colourful highly tactile collection of all the images which are, for diasporic Armenians, representative of 'home:' from Armenian landscapes to churches to the memorial to the millions who died in the genocide perpetrated by the Turks upon the Armenians between 1917 and 1919. »
