Bars Media Studio

In the early 1990s, former Soviet republics like Armenia had few independent outlets for front-line filmmakers. We realized then that a space was needed to tell honest stories. Bars Media is now Armenia's largest independent documentary production company. We work with the region's most talented film professionals, producing in-depth, narrative-driven and human-focused stories. Our home is in Armenia, but we have produced films around the world, including in Afghanistan, Kenya, Russia, the United States, Syria, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Our productions have been broadcast internationally on BBC, ARTE, PBS, YLE, NHK, NPO, Al Jazeera, among others.
