‘NAMUS’ TO OPEN GOLDEN APRICOT FILM FESTIVAL
The first Armenian fiction movie "Namus" (honor) will open the 3d Yerevan Golden Apricot International Film Festival due to be held July 10-15. The movie that celebrates its 80th anniversary this year was only recently reconstructed. Armen Mazmanian, director of the Festival, told yesterday’s press conference that the opening and closing ceremonies of this year will vary from those of the last year. This year’s celebration will be staged in Yerevan’s streets and the official ceremony is going to be restrained and less flamboyant.
The list of fiction films is almost complete. In a week the lists of documentaries and participants of the "Armenian Panorama" contest will also be completed.
Program director of the festival, Mikael Stambultsian, is unsatisfied with how the previous festivals were covered by the media and hopes that this time journalists will more frequently touch on the movies’ content and quality. Part of the works of filmmakers from 58 countries took part in other festivals as well. Asked if the Golden Apricot aims at premieres only, Mikael Stambultsian said: "There are more film festivals in the world than good movies."
