Lullaby for the Mountains

Masterful Béla Tarr–produced debut that guides us through Armenia’s sacred mountain landscapes on a hypnotic journey far beyond time and space.

In his debut, Hayk Matevosyan forges a distinctive rhythm by interweaving architecture and spirituality through Armenia’s ancient churches, mist-shrouded valleys, and barren expanses. Across fifteen contemplative chapters, measurable time dissolves into pure presence and an almost ritual stillness. Traces of Béla Tarr’s ascetic visual language and Aleksandr Sokurov’s meditative tonality run through this visionary work — a hushed act of devotion in which the landscape itself seems to do the thinking, as humanity seeks its deeper meaning, silent power, and hidden resonance.
