This big moment celebrates the movie's amazing artistry and marks a brand-new era for Armenian movies on the global stage.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences recently announced its shortlists for various categories, and "AMERIKATSI" made it to the top 15 contenders for Best International Feature Film. That's no small feat, considering how tough the competition is!

This is a huge deal for Armenian cinema because, until now, Armenia had never made it to the shortlist, let alone been nominated for an Oscar in this category. So, this is a groundbreaking moment.

"AMERIKATSI" is not just a win for the film itself but also a big boost for the future of Armenian cinema. The director, Michael Goorjian, did an amazing job bringing this story to life. And let's not forget Hovik Keuchkerian, whose incredible acting made this film stand out.

This recognition at the Oscars shines a spotlight on the film's universal appeal and puts Armenian cinema right in the global spotlight. It's like opening a door to more international collaborations and getting everyone excited about Armenian movies.
