Songs of Solomon is a 2019 period biographical drama film directed by Arman Nshanian, depicting the life and music of Komitas Vardabet, who was an Armenian composer, ethnomusicologist and priest, who lived during the years of the Armenian genocide. The movie was selected by Armenia to compete in the 93rd Academy Awards, but it was not nominated.

Production

A relative of story writer Sylvia Kavoukjian shared a story about her grandmother, who was a small child during this period of the Armenian Genocide. She had a friendship with a Turkish girl, and they eventually became characters in the film, but made older by Kavoukjian.

The film was therefore centered around the music of Komitas. It also displays the life of Komitas (1869–1935) before and up to the Armenian Genocide.

The production of the film was set in Armenia. The director is Arman Nshanian. The producers are Arman Nshanian, Oscar-winning Green Book producer and co-writer Nick Vallelonga and Asko Akopyan.

According to Nshanyan, the Armenian locals were very helpful to the production.
