"So many interesting things happen in Yerevan, there is so much life
in Yerevan that should make filmmakers look around more attentively
and find a lot of topics to touch", said Gohar Danielyan-Dubost,
co-chairman of "Kino+" magazine and the head of "DG Contact"
organization. She ensured that the aim of the magazine was to arouse
love and interest toward film art. "We want to stimulate this field
and smooth the path of talented youth", said Danielyan-Dubost. This
is why the young initiators should have free ideas and feel it in
their activities.

"It is very important that they would express their ideas freely,
although all new is difficult to express. That should not frighten
them. The material that is worth to pay attention to may not be ignored
or rejected by our great masters" mentioned Gohar Danielyan. She
called on the young generation to work hard and with love since
"some day they will be noticed and appreciated".

The co-chairman of "Kino+" magazine is going to organize competitions
and to publish booklets which will promote the young generation
to create and be the best. One of those initiatives would be the
competition of the best scenario. "One of the standards for the
best scenario will be the presentation of Armenian daily reality,
which we sometimes pass by indifferently. We are tired of old,
historical subjects. And in my opinion, here the material prize is
not as important as being the best".

The "Kino+" magazine works with film producers, journalists, art
critics and analysts.

By the way, Gohar Danielyan mentioned that she would pay a great
attention to critical materials; they must be serious analysis,
discussions and debates. "We will give chance to opponents to express
their ideas and argue. We will not evade of criticism. I hope that
will be done in a civilized manner since the role of the magazine
will be neutral. We should not raise only the negative side of things,
we should touch the positive as well", she said.

According to her, there is always a truth in criticism: "If I were
in the place of the criticized producers, we would make use of the
expressed ideas.

Cinematography costs much, especially feature films.

>>From this point of view, producers need financing. But not everything
may be concealed behind finances. There are films on which great
amount of money was spent but they did not have success. Film is
an obstinate art and the advertisement of films if very important",
added Gohar Danielyan-Dyubost.
