Fourth Cinema of the Republic to Operate in Berd
YEREVAN, JULY 30, ARMENPRESS: The fourth cinema of the Republic of
Armenia is expected to open August 2 in the town of Berd, Tavush
province. The Arevaberd Cinema, operating in the Soviet period, will
reopen with the assistance of Victor Hayrapetyan- Armenian
businessman, born in Berd.
Arthur Ghukasyan, director of the cinema, told Armenpress that
Arevaberd Cinema will be presented to the art loving community with
its two cinema halls. The big hall is intended for 400 people, and the
small one- for 100 people. The cinema will operate with the newest
technological models and will conduct satellite broadcast. The foyer
of the cinema will have a café, intended for 60 people.
`The operation of the cinema is an important event for the local
population. It will give an opportunity to get acquainted with the
latest novelties of the world cinema market,' Arthur Ghukasyan said.
The two of the three cinemas are operating in Yerevan, and the third
one- `Cinema October'- in Gyumri.
According to Eleonora Tumanyan, head of culture and tourism department
of Yerevan Municipality, the issue of cinemas is worrying. She said
that the necessity of establishment of cinemas was stressed at a
number of discussions.
`There are some projects for establishment of cinemas, but the steps,
undertaken in that direction, are not clear yet,' Eleonora Tumanyan
said. She added that each community of Yerevan had one or two cinemas
in the Soviet period.
