HULIQ
June 12 2009

Moscow International Film Festival which is currently filled with
Armenian films will start on June 19.

This year the festival has planned to show films by Harutyun
Khachatryan. Director’s films such as "The Border", "the Return of the
Poet", "Return to the Promised Land", "The Kond", "The Last Station"
"The White Town" are planned to be shown during the festival. Hovhannes
Galstyan’s "Entangled Parallels" film is also included in the program
of the Festival named "Perspective".

Hovahannisyan is confident that "a good film will anyway reach to the
audience" and believs "that unwritten law has an effect for Armenian
films as well".

In addition to the film presentations, Armenian delegation will
participate in the film forum held within the Festival frameworks.

50 years separate the 31st Moscow Film Festival and the very first
one. I think it is now clear to all that despite all the objective
difficulties the festival meets its half-century anniversary in
good shape. In the past few years we have achieved the necessary
stability and managed to rekindle the interest of common viewers
in non-commercial cinema, which, after all, is the main objective
of the Moscow International Film Festival. The Moscow film forum –
last year’s event provided ample evidence – is more than a mere
"world film championship". Its programs combined movies which were
very different in content and artistic treatment. Among the favorites
there were real gems of film art which our festival has every right
to be proud of. Every year in the "Oktyabr", "Khudozhestvenny" and
"Pushkinsky" cinema halls the Moscow Film Festival offers a unique
opportunity to see the most striking films of the past year brought
here from all over the world, as well as the time-tested masterpieces
of film art which are often totally unknown in Russia.
