FILMS BY BRITISH DIRECTORS AT ARMENIAN CINEMAS AGAIN
YEREVAN, MARCH 7. ARMINFO. Demonstration of British films at Nairi
Cinema in Yerevan on March 10-15. Armenian spectators will enjoy six
best films of the last years by British directors.
The festival will present the following films: "Calendar Girls"
by Nigel Cole, "In My Father's Den" by Brad McGann, "Pride and
Prejudice" by Joe Wright, "In This World" by Michael Winterbottom,
"Sweet Sixteen" by Ken Loach, "Festival" by Annie Griffin. Head of
British Council Yerevan Office Nigel Townson told journalists that
the festival is organized by the Embassy of Great Britain in Armenia.
It will present films awarded at international film festivals. The
British cinema is highly in demand in the world, it is very flexible
and touches upon the most dangerous topics, he said. The Armenian
spectators display an interest in the European cinema, with the fifth
in succession festival in Armenia is an evidence of it. Within the
frameworks of the festival, films will be demonstrated also in the
second largest Armenian town of Gyumri at Cinema "Oktyabr". N.
Townson mentioned the Armenian Film Festival held in London a year
ago due to which the British spectators got an opportunity to enjoy
the Armenian movie art.
The British Film Festival pursues a charitable goal: the proceeds
from the tickets (cost 500 AMD) will be transferred to the Children
Houses in Armenia. The films will be demonstrated in English, Armenian
and Russian.
