International Film Festival plays a great part in European film
propagandizing, the
French Embassy advisor on culture and cooperation Annie Monnerie said
at the press-conference, Friday.

She particularly mentioned the fact that despite the leading positions
of the "Dream Factory" in the world cinema industry, the steering
committee is opening the doors just for the European films. "I am sure
that the special programme of the Golden Apricot "Festival in festival"
where modern French movies will be presented, will allow Armenian
spectators feel deeply development of our cinema", – Monnerie said. She
also added that totally 10 French films will be demonstrated at the
festival.

For her part, representative of the German Embassy to Armenia Melanie
Moltman expressed hope that the programme "Europe-2006", which will
present German and English films, will raise spectators’ interest in
the European cinema in general. "Unfortunately, if compared with the
American films, German films are not so much popular. For this reason
our participation in the Golden Apricot is of great significance for
us. I hope, this will promote much popularization of German cinema in
Armenia", – she said.
