The Centre Pompidou in Paris has announced a two-month retrospective dedicated to Armenian filmmaker Harutyun Khachatryan, running from October 9 to November 30, 2025.

The program, organized within La Cinémathèque du documentaire par la Bpi, will feature ten of Khachatryan’s films, including Kond, White Town, Return to the Promised Land, The Last Station, The Documentarist, Return of the Poet, Border, Endless Escape, Eternal Return, Deadlock and Three Graves of the Artist. Each film will be screened three times, offering audiences 30 showings in total, the Armenian Union of Film Professionals reported on Monday.

The retrospective will open with Khachatryan in attendance. Events will also include three post-screening discussions and a masterclass with the director.

According to the union, this marks the first time in the history of Armenian cinema that a director has been honored with a retrospective at the Centre Pompidou, coinciding with Khachatryan’s 70th birthday milestone.
