Arthur Manukyan

In March 2020, he again directed the music video for Armenia's Eurovision entry, Chains on You by singer-songwriter Athena Manoukian, which had been selected after winning The Armenian selection in February 2020. The video was released on March 13.

Whilst Eurovision Song Contest 2020 was cancelled the following week, the music video, which had earned widespread praise from fans, would be featured in replacement entertainment such as Eurovision: Europe Shine a Light and Eurovision Song Celebration, and got over 4 million youtube views as of May 26 2020.

When I first heard the song I instantly thought that the music video should reflect Sevak’s inner world – his emotions and feelings. There aren’t any excessive elements in the video – it is minimalistic, yet very expressive. I wanted to keep it simple and concentrate the attention on Sevak and his song.

The music video for "Walking Out", a song by Armenian singer Srbuk which represented Armenia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 in Tel Aviv, Israel, directed by Arthur Manukyan, was teased on 8 March 2019. It was released on Eurovision's official YouTube channel on March 10. The music video was filmed in Armenfilm studio by Factory production.

“We had only 2 weeks after Depi Evratesil to revamp the song and shoot the music video, and after days and nights of rehearsals and preparations I’m very excited to share the result of our work. It is truly a joy working alongside such a professional team and believe me, we have a lot more surprises coming up!”
