ArmInfo. In 2010 Haroutyun Khachatryan's film "The Border" will be
presented at 18 international film festivals.
The film director himself told ArmInfo correspondent that, in
particular, "The Border" will be presented at festivals in the United
States, Sweden, Australia, Bulgaria, Switzerland, Israel and Spain. At
the same time, Khachatryan confessed that despite the interest in the
film abroad, in Armenia "The Border" has received not a single prize,
not even a state one. "Even a joke has been born: the film has received
awards in all countries, except two ones - Armenia and Azerbaijan",-
he said.
To recall, the first night of "The Border" was on 24 Jan 2009
within the frames of the Rotterdam festival. The film won prizes
of International film festivals in Houston, Syracuse, Antalya. In
