Christine Haroutounian’s feature-length debut After Dreaming, shot two years ago in Armenia by the US-based director and screenwriter suggests from its opening minutes that the viewer is invited not into an “after,” but into the dream itself, a space where delirium, the subconscious, and collective trauma intertwine. The film unfolds through a sequence of symbolic, ethereal, and at times deliberately non-rational actions and figures that drift through a semi-awake, imaginary, and hallucinatory atmosphere.

The year 2025 marked a decisive stage in the evolution of the Maison Marom Group of Companies, defined less by rapid expansion and more by structural maturity. Ideas that had long shaped the Group’s direction took concrete form as systems and practices designed for long-term cultural impact. Rooted in Armenia and oriented globally, Maison Marom continued to position itself as a unified lifestyle ecosystem, demonstrating that business can be guided by cultural logic rather than driven solely by scale or speed.

Maison Marom proudly announces the official presentation of Maróm in France - a debut that marks an important milestone for the Armenian lifestyle group and introduces a new, culturally rooted design language to the European fashion landscape.

Some years define direction. Others establish identity. For Rien-à-Porter, 2025 was both. This was the year when a vision turned into a place, and a place turned into a movement - one that reimagined how lifestyle, culture, craftsmanship, and community can exist together in Armenia.

Armenia’s healthcare sector has witnessed remarkable transformations, with Avanta growing from a modest dental office to the country’s largest multifunctional dental facility. Regional Post spoke to Dr. Grigoryan, founder-president of Avanta Innovative Medical Center, about modern dentistry’s evolution, Armenia’s potential as a regional healthcare hub, and the strategic vision behind Avanta’s unprecedented growth.

Circular Economy in Armenia will not achieve anywhere near its full potential without the right policy instruments in place. This is the firm belief of Harutyun Alpetyan, Program Manager and Lecturer at the American University of Armenia (AUA) Acopian Center for the Environment and a member of the Armenian Circular Economy Coalition (ACEC). He elaborated his vision for the development of circularity in Armenia during a conversation with Regional Post.

Regional Post asked the Founders of EventToura agency, Mary Badalyan and Nune Manukyan how Yerevan Wine Days transformed from a single-street festival into Armenia’s most successful case study in sustainable event tourism, proving that ancient wine traditions and modern environmental responsibility can go hand in hand.
