Naira Muradyan was born on December 17, 1961 in Yerevan. In 1977 she went to Terlemezian Art School where studied painting. Starting from the 1980 she worked as a production designer in the animation department at the Armenfilm studio. Together with other members of the department Naira formed a surrealistic language of the Armenian school of animation, which is the most rebellious and cheerful in the Soviet scene. From 1997 to 2008 she was a set decorator and costume designer in theater. During the same time she worked as an animator and production designer on television. In 2005 Naira delved into her own animations and since then has produced 10 short films. Her shorts The Road, Little Soldier and Ballet have received prizes at several international film festivals. Naira’s latest film, The Winged, premiered at the Golden Apricot International Film Festival in 2021.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
