Cultural center "Psalm" which was founded in 2000 will hold a festival
titled "Week of Surprises" in about three cultural houses since June
20. The slogan of the festival will be "Friends for friends".

According to Anna Mayilyan, the head of the center, "This festival
will give us a chance to gather together with our friends and rejoice
at our meeting.

Our days are so clod and boring". Photographers, composers and
musicians from France, Germany and Armenia will participate in the
creative events.

Within the framework of the festival two films will be shown in French
translated into Armenian. The first is a 15-minute documental called
"Karskaya" which tells about the life of painted Ida Karskaya. The
second is an animation film by French Armenian famous actor Serge
Avetiqyan called "The Price of Life" which tells about German
concentration camps.

Anna Mayilyan also promised that there will be a number of
improvisations, and the cultural evenings will not have a clear-cut
scenario. "It will be more interesting", she added.
