IV International film festival Golden Apricot will give many pleasant
surprises to film directors.
As director of the festival, Armenian film director Harutyun
Khachatrayn said at today’s press-conference, thanks to general sponsor
of the festival Viva Cell, it is for the first time that film-winners
will also get money prizes. Thus, the theatrical film that will get the
first prize, will also get 2 mln
drams (about $5 thsd), and the documentary firm – 1 mln drams, etc.The
steering committee decided to introduce an innovation according to
which the opening and closing ceremonies of the Golden Apricot
will be held at Liberty Square which will give an opportunity to
increase the number of the audience seats several times. Moreover, from
10:00 PM till midnight the most interesting films, that got prizes at
other film festivals, will be demonstrated free of charge.
To note, it is for the first time this year the films included in the
competition programme of the Golden Apricot will be assessed by
FIPRESCI.
