Annual General Assembly (IAGA) In London

A Fresh Perspective in Cinematography
The International Federation of Cinematographers (IMAGO) held its Annual General Assembly (IAGA) in London on the 14th and 15th of February, hosted by The British Society of Cinematographers (BSC). The event was hybrid to ensure participation by all member societies. Representatives from more than 30 countries attended the assembly in person, and those who couldn’t join in person participated online. The Armenian Cinematographers Guild (ACG), which became a full member of IMAGO last year, was represented by its member and General Secretary, Anna Ter-Gabrielyan.

Mkrtich Malkhasyan's studies in America

Difference in education
Long before I moved to America, I had heard about AFI (American Film Institute) and specifically the cinematography department, how many famous cinematographers had made it and what was most important to me in terms of education was who taught there.
So when I moved to live in Los Angeles, the question of whether or not to study and where, disappeared and moved to the field of more time and opportunities. 2 years of the pandemic became a wonderful opportunity to realize my dream.
