Seasons of the Year (Armenian: Տարվա եղանակները, romanized: Tarva yeghanaknery; Russian: Времена года, romanized: Vremena goda),[2] also called The Seasons or Four Seasons,[3] is a 1975 Soviet–Armenian short documentary film, directed and written by Artavazd Peleshyan.

[8] The film depicts the struggles of an isolated Armenian farming community against the elements.

We see the villagers raising sheep and cattle, rolling haystacks down a hillside, dealing with rain and storms, celebrating a wedding, and sliding down a snowy hill while carrying sheep.

"[11] Verena Paravel also described seeing it on her first day of film school, calling it "the beginning of a cognitive and creative revolution for me.

"[12] Ian Christie has written that Seasons of the Year is a "a vivid calendar of land and animal husbandry," comparing it to Salt for Svanetia (1930).
