11 full-length films, 6 short films and 16 documentaries of Armenian
cinematographers are presented in the "Armenian Panorama" program of
the "Golden Apricot" international film festival.

President of the festival Harutyun Khachatryan told the journalists
today that there was a wish to include many more films in the program
to provide the opportunity to have a better notion what Armenian
directors in and outside Armenia produce. The election commission,
however, did not include some films in the program. Organizers say
that according to the rules of the festival no explanations are
given in case the films are rejected. These are solely not included
in the festival in case they do not correspond to the standards of
the festival.

According to the member of the creative council of the festival
Arthur Bakhtamyan, the palette of the "Armenian Panorama" is rather
multicolored and diverse this year. The only common thing is that
all the movies were filmed by Armenians.
