Game”, “A Chauffeur for Vera”, “The Father”, “The Night is Light” — are to
be screened during the week. Sergey Lazaruk said yesterday at a press
conference in “Moscow” cinema that those are the films that received wide

cinema workers, Lazaruk said that for the last 2 years they are reaching
agreements on joint programs. “We have learnt many things about Armenian
cinema from Atom Egoyan’s films”, he said.
