YEREVAN, MAY 1, ARMENPRESS. The 20th Golden Apricot Yerevan International Film Festival will be held on July 9-16, organizers announced Monday.

Since 2023 marks the 100th anniversary of Armenian cinema, and the Golden Apricot’s 20th jubilee festival, this year’s festival will pay tribute to these two anniversaries.

Renowned film stars and figures from around the world will arrive in Yerevan for the festival.

Organizers said updates will be issued soon.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
