    GOLDEN APRICOT'S EXPECTED AWARDS AND THE "MERMAID'S" IMAGINARY WORLD

    Culture

    During the seven days of the Golden Apricot film festival Yerevan
    became the crossroads of cultures. French film director Cathrein
    Breya presented to the Armenian public the uttermost of feminine
    attractiveness and Serbian Director Goran Paskalevich remained
    faithful to his motto: never to betray the principles and show real
    human feelings in the films.

    On July 19 took place the closure ceremony of the festival and
    the distribution of the awards. The grand prix was awarded to Anna
    Melikian's "Mermaid". Alice, the hero of the film, lives on the shore
    of the sea. She is able to make wishes come true. Once in Moscow
    he meets a stranger, who wore a cross with the "Save and Protect"
    inscription. That moment changed her life.

    Two special awards went to the "Wonderful City" by Aditya Asarat
    (Thailand) and the "Lemon Tree" by Eran Ricklies (Israel).

    The Silver Apricot was awarded to Indian film "Laqshmeen and Me",
    which tells about a woman working 12 hours a day and facing abuse
    and violence all the time.

    The main awards in the Armenian Panorama contest were given to Arik
    Nazarian's "The Blue Hour", Diana Mkrtchian's "Gatha" and Mariam
    Ohanian's "Watery Novels". Turk director Huseyn Karabey's "My Marlon
    and Brando" was awarded a special prize. Special award "The Taler of
    Parajanov" went to Wim Wenders, Germany, and Darioush Mehrjouee, Iran.
