awards
My film ''Everything comes and goes'' is the winner of the MENA Film Festival The HagueMy film ''Everything comes and goes'' is the winner of the MENA Film Festival The Hague.
On Friday 21 May, festival director Mohammad Amin awarded the prize for the best short film, submitted by makers from Laak. Sona made a beautifully styled film about her view on life during corona.
Story of the film
Sona: "The film "Everything comes and goes" is about the transience and the cycle of human existence. I experience the corona time as an event where everything comes and goes. Life is endless and infinite, and birth and death are only transitions. Change always takes place and destruction, destruction and decay leading to a new existence.So I want to show that you need to appreciate, enjoy and have a positive outlook on all the little things in your life, no matter how difficult the situation is. "
jury report
Sona Sahakian was able to make a connection between herself and the elements of the surrounding nature. When human relationships deteriorate during the corona and are limited by the requirements of the corona pandemic, the creator has nothing but to reattach to living things living with us on this planet. It is a victory of life and movement and a rethink of the rose that grows spontaneously in the middle of the road.

Her works consist of paintings, drawings, collages, photographs, installations and films (video art). In recent years she has participated in various groups exhibitions and projects.
Her works are about the search for an inner experience of time, where memories are made experienceable in the shape of fixation and transformation. She strives for a fusion of past and present , which creates a dynamic and timeless dimension. The transience, the cycle of human existence - life, death and rebirth - plays an important role in this; this transforms our reality and strengthens our human consciousness. In her art she wants to stimulate people's imagination and sensory experiences in which the traces of the past are revived in the present, which remains anchored in her memory and thus enriches her personal history. In this way she wants to inspire people to make an inner journey by really feeling and discovering for themselves what the treasury of their existence is.
