    ARMENIAN THEMES NOT COMPULSORY FOR TAKING PART IN GOLDEN APRICOT
    FESTIVAL'S "ARMENIAN PANORAMA" CONTEST PROGRAM


    YEREVAN, JUNE 1, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. Like the previous
    years, works by Armenian film directors living in different countries
    will compete in the Golden Apricot (Voske Tsiran) Yerevan Third
    International Film Festival's "Armenian Panorama" contest program. As
    cinema critic Mikael Stamboltsian, Director of festival programs,
    mentioned in his interview to Noyan Tapan correspondent, though the
    compulsory condition for taking part in the program is being Armenian,
    they are free in the issue of choosing themes. "In the creative
    respect the subject's being Armenian becomes senseless as for the
    spectator the most important is the film's quality and not the
    director's origin or the circumstance of his being an Armenian,"
    M.Stamboltsian emphasized. The Director of festival programs did not
    give any comment or estimation on the selected films. He just said
    that in the creative respect the films do not essentially differ from
    the works presented in the previous years: "There are succeeded and
    interesting films, there is also the opposite. Everything will be
    cleared up after the festival." M.Stamboltsian said that 25 films,
    from Canada, USA, France, Holland, Russia, Serbia and Armenia will
    compete in the three nominations of this program. One film, "Wedding
    Box," is a joint Russian-Kyrghyzian-German-French production. Its
    scenario was written by Yekaterina Trdatova from Moscow.
