YEREVAN, JULY 14, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. The Margaret Mead
Film and Video Festival is presented this year in the list of the
programs of the Golden Apricot 6th International Film Festival. The
Margaret Mead Festival's prize winners of different years as well
as Middle Asian and Armenian films are involved in the program. The
program is aimed to develop this film festival of documentary films
among the local film producers in Armenia, to present Armenian and
regional documentary films with the films chosen by Margaret Mead
and to encourage the exchange.
The Margaret Mead Film and Video Festival of New York is the most
voluminous and first-rate annual show of foreign documentary films in
the United States. The festival was founded by the American Museum of
Natural History, in honour of leading anthropologist Margaret Mead's
75th birthday anniversary and 50th anniversary of her activity at the
museum. The festival represents every year a wide choice of works
in the sense of both form and content. The festival is striking by
excellent choice of films where various and urgent themes are touched
upon, and a wide series of problems and perspectives is presented. The
festival organizers make a serious choice, taking into consideration
both quality and regional and thematic variety of the claims.
