If a country like Armenia sends a film to the world, it’s not just art. It is a way to preserve memory, to reach a scattered diaspora. Every movie offers the world stories that can be forgotten. Is that when President Trump suggests a 100% tariff of all films “Made in foreign countries,” Damage is not limited to foreign competitors or outsourcing studios. It threatens to close small countries like Armenia, with the cinema a line of life.
The proposal is not effective – yet. But July 9 marks a change in the trump’s wider agenda, with a deadline for breaking penalysis penalties in countries before. “While the condition for films remain unclear, the proposal is done harm and continues to haunt industry. The idea of tariffs has emerged from the global exchange as a threat as a cultural statement.
Remove “Amersi“(2022), the unique recent movie of Emmy-winning Actor and Director Michael A. Goorjian. The Armenian Armenian Armenian Armenian Mission in Armenian, including the people, later, found themselves in front lane of war. One was killed. Some injured. They sent videos saying that all they wanted to return to set. That was the Spirit as it crushed.
Armenia is a democracy in a dangerous neighborhood. Its history is charged with trauma – genocide, war, work, and the current threats from neighboring authorities to authority. But even as bombs falls and boundaries close, people create. Movies like “Sunrise by Aurora“(2022) and”If the drop in the air“(2020) Bring voices to the oceans, suffering poems, movie history. These films, festivals and distributions at a time. A 100% tariff will break that.
In fact, ripple effects on such tariffs will end around the world’s world ecosystem. Modern cinema is the international international: a Georgian director can work with a French editor, an American actor and German financier.
So sure, many Americans use crew and facilities in Canada. but International co-productions are a growing stone stone in the global industryespecially in Europe. Belgium produces up to 72% of its films associated with foreign countries, which is always France. Other best production leaders include Luxembourg (45% in France), Slovakia (38% of Czachia) and Switzerland (31% in France). These intercourts are often driven by the shared language, which is why the US is often involved in British co-productions as well Canada. Israel also leans out this model, using agreements in countries such as France, Germany and Canada to access international and funding mechanisms.
The US government cannot do this system and don’t have to try to do it. The punishment of “foreign-neign-making films is also punishing Americans – Artists, Products and Distributors who work together collaboration. You can’t build a wall around the story.
Tariff filgue supporters protect American workers. But Hollywood is one of the most globalized industrial industry, and the idea that it suffered many foreign films unreasonable. If there is anything, it suffers very little. The result of this policy is not a prosperous domada market – but a quiet, flatter. A scene where the next “ameriki“ Invisible, where a generation of Armenian America’s youth does not understand their history through a movie screen.
If america wants to lead the 21st century – not only in the military and economic but morally – should lead to culture and avoid diversity.
Stories like “ameriki“ Remind us why that is important. A movie starting with a boy who commits suicide a crate across the ocean ends with a message of happiness and stress. That is not enough for Armenian history – it is also in American history. It cannot be separated. Unless we want that kind of storytelling for sale from our theaters (and our streaming platforms), we need to open the doors.
For America to return stories like this can be a betrayal of all films. And it can also provide the American Society. That way is not in size but in Provinciality.
