In Search of Light

Directed by Hasmig Der Tateossian  |  Australia  |  2026  |  46 min  |  PG

Follow the deeply personal journeys of two individuals in this emotionally powerful documentary as they navigate their relationship with faith and find God’s presence on their own paths.

Through intimate access to their lives and reflections from priests and spiritual leaders, the film explores how each person wrestles with doubt, finds purpose, and seeks the presence of God in their own way.

At its heart, this Australian documentary is about the universal truth of how every journey through faith is different and that’s where its beauty lies.

A world premiere, and debut film by Armenian-Australian Hasmig Der Tateossian.

World Premiere, Australian production
