Victoria Aleksanyan

Aleksanyan has written, directed and produced a number of short films.

Aleksanyan holds a master's degree in Fine Arts in Film from Columbia University, and in economic journalism from Russian-Armenian University. She received post-production fellowship from Baden-Wurttemberg Filmakademie.

Aleksanyan started her career as a journalist, working in a number of cultural magazines in Armenia. After graduating from Russian-Armenian University and receiving a master's degree in journalism, Aleksanyan's professional path took an artistic direction. She joined an outdoor theater project in Norway as a blogger and a performer and shortly after moved to New York City to study Film at Columbia University.

In November 2018 Aleksanyan implemented a Filmmaking Learning Lab for Tumo Center for Creative Technologies in Gyumri and held a one-month intensive educational film workshop which resulted in a production of a collaborative short film, created by the Tumo students, called “Gyumri, my love.”

She also served on the Independent Film Committee for National Cinema Center, reviewing and judging the film projects and scripts for the 2018 State Funding Competition.

Now, Aleksanyan is the co-founder, fundraiser, and Board Member of IFCA, Independent Filmmakers Community of Armenia.
