Director Arev Manoukian is the 30 years old deus ex machina behind the little short-movie masterpiece, entitled “Nuit Blanche”, which won 2010 Grand Prize of LG Film Festival.
This movie, by Spy Films, set in a film noir mood, in Paris, captures a surprisingly violent moment of connection and fall-in-love of two completely strangers attracted each other with such ENFASI that no one around them, even objects and cars, glass and rain, canee them apart.
Released in slow motion, with explosions of water, things and glass, a san expression of the absolute and aching desire beween th man and the woman.

Manoukian captured the attention of Hollywood too, with “Nuit Blanche”: he brainstormed with “Wanted” director Timur Bekmambetov and “9 – Nine” producer jim Lemely, after signing with talent aency William Morris Endeavor.
The art in videomaking.
Terrific!
