Young director Anna Arevshatyan’s film Good Morning has already hit the big screen: the film is screened in Yerevan cinemas.
To note, before presenting the film to the Armenian audience, it has already won a number of awards: Golden Apricot of Armenian Panorama National Competition (Golden Apricot 13th Yerevan International Film Festival), the Best Feature Film Award of the 11th Annual Pomegranate Film Festival held in Toronto and the first Armenian Film Awards “Anahit” organized by the Armenian National Film Academy.
"Good Morning" is the first feature film made by the young director. The movie has been shot in Hrazdan, Armenia. Earlier, during the meeting with the reporters, Anna Arevshatyan noted that the film is about the period of 1990. It depicts the Armenians’ daily life, in which she has tried to find out some answers in the memories of the people of her generation.
Sometimes the most important answers lie where the childhood memories clash with the disclosure and acceptance of oneself. Tangled up in his own self, Arshak is looking for the answers in his childhood memories. He is as close to the self-acceptance as to the running in circles. What will he choose? And how the memories from the 90s will define his life? The film tells a story about a television journalist, Arshak, who refuses to yield to an obsequious style of news reporting. Adamant about remaining in Armenia, he declines an offer to leave the country and work with his brother. Soon after, he loses his job. Unaware of how he will support his wife and son, Arshak is overwhelmed with guilt and an unshakeable fear of the unknown. With increasing pressure from his wife to emigrate, he is thrust into a deep introspection while journeying to the village where he grew up.
Arshak’s childhood memories exacerbate the internal conflict between his unwavering principles and their impact on his uncertain future. We follow Arshak’s struggle to unearth a life-changing direction that he can embrace.
Every year February 4 is marked as World Cancer Day worldwide which aims at drawing public attention once more on the fight against malignant neoplasms underscoring the prevention, continuous control and treatment of the decease, Panorama.am reports.
According to the predictions of the World Health Organization 22 million new cancer cases will be registered in the world in 2020 and the cancer death toll will reach to 10 million.
As in all over the world the prevention, treatment and continuous control of the cancer is one of the priorities of Armenia’s health system. Malignant neoplasm is the second leading cause of death in the mortality of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Armenia.
According to the figures released by the Ministry of Health in the recent 10 years cancer incidents have increased by 80 percent or by 1.8 times (by 2749 cancer cases) in Armenia and the cancer mortality rate has risen by 90 percent or by 1.9 times (by 2015 death cases). The number of patients diagnosed for the first time as having “malignant neoplasm” has made up 8372 people and a total of 40862 patients have been under dispensary control in oncology centers. Moreover, breast, womb, cervical and colon cancers most often affect women and bronchitis, lung, bladder, prostate, stomach and colon cancers are common among men.
Adopting the approaches of the World Health Organization Armenia’s Ministry of Health implements a number of preventive measures. The International experience shows that over 30 percent of cancer cases can be prevented by eliminating the effects of the risk factors contributing to the development of the disease.
In 2015 the NCD screening program of early detection launched in Armenia which includes detection of cervical cancer, preventive medical examinations of the beneficiaries of the social packages and the program of early detection of prostate cancer.
In the recent years oncology services have become available in more hospitals of Armenia. Currently eight medical organizations provide cancer treatment. And due to the modernization of Hematology Center after prof. R.Yeolyan of the RA Ministry of Health progress in blood cancer detection and treatment is expected in the center. The center will also perform stem cell harvest procedure and bone marrow transplant.
Armenia’s Ministry of Health underscores that cancer is not a death sentence and can be prevented especially when detected in early stages.
