Within the framework of the 5th international film festival "Golden
Apricot" to be held on July 13-20 of this year, the forum "Armenian
Film Project" with the participation of cinematographers of Armenian
origin both from Armenia and abroad will be organized for the first
time. During the forum, the film directors will develop programs for
a documentary and a fiction film, based on which two films will be
shot by 2010.
The forum's executive official, cinematologist Davit Muradian said
at the June 18 press conference that 8-9 film directors will present
10-minute film projects for a 90-minute fiction film, after which all
these short fiction pictures will be edited into one of the conditional
name "House". The same procedure will be used to make a documentary
"Land". According to D.
Muradian, it is common practice in Western countries to shoot a film
in this way.
"Armenian Film Project" forum opens a unique opportunity to present
Armenian cinema in the context of the world film making, and, on
the other hand, to introduce the world cinema thinking in Armenia,"
D. Muradian noted. In his words, unlike the competition program
"Armenian Panorama", which aims to bring together Armenian film
directors from various corners of the world, the purpose of this
forum is to create films by efforts of Armenian directors.
The documentary project will be headed by Harutyun Khachatrian,
the fiction film project by Atom Egoyan.
Davit Muradian announced that invitations for project implementation
have been sent to more than 50 film directors.
