/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The week of the Russian films has opened in Yerevan. In
the words of Alfael President Levon Abrahamian, "My stepbrother
Frankenstein", "Ours", "Driver for Eva", "Butterflies' plays", "Father", as
well as "The night is bright" film by Roman Balayan will be screened. Being
dedicated to the topic of war of both the past and the present years, these
films have gained the most spectator sympathies, as well as won prizes at
various international film festivals. As noted by Chief of Cinematography
Department of Russia's Federal Agency for Cinematography Sergey Lazarchuk,
the judgements of people of Russia on the Armenian cinema are more based on
the films of western directors of Armenian origin, e.g. Atom Egoyan. The
Russian cinema figure gave a low evaluation to the state of the
cinematography in Armenia, in contrast to the Russian one called
Renaissance, attributing it to financial difficulties. Mr. Lazarchuk also
added that the Russian party is considering a range of projects presented by
Armenian film directors for getting financing. S. Lazarchuk also added that
touring performances of the Bolshoy and Obraztsov Theatres, as well as the
ITAR-TASS exhibition dedicated to the 60th anniversary of Victory in Great
Patriotic War will be organized within the framework of the Year of Russia
in Armenia, Arminfo news agency reported.
