Ani Hovannisian
From sparse operating rooms in Siberia to backstage green rooms at the Grammys, Armenian filmmaker Ani Hovannisian has traveled the world directing and producing award-winning non-fiction stories for network and cable television programs and international audiences and reporting news on Armenian television. It was a journey to the native lands of her genocide-survivor grandparents that led to her most recent and critical work, The Hidden Map, a film which has earned more than a dozen selections and awards at international film festivals, and was considered for three 2021 Primetime Emmys, including Exceptional Merit in Documentary Filmmaking. Ms. Hovannisian’s presentation is the annual Mgrublian Lecture on Armenian Studies.
