'Apricot yield' of Golden Apricot
2010-07-17 18:21:00
ArmInfo. The winners of VII Golden Apricot International Film Festival
will be announced today.
It is noteworthy that this year Golden Apricot has become a true
"board of revelations". For instance, Stanislav Govorukhin expressed
regret that he didn't study painting. "I have been painting for 20
years, but I feel that I am short of the relevant school, and I cannot
progress",- he said. For his part, Fatih Akin told about the
difficulties of national identity. He said though his parent are of
Turkish origin, he feels himself German. He was born and grew up in
Germany, and the first girl he kissed was German. The most unexpected
confession was that of Allen Hughes, who has come to Armenia hoping to
find his queen. It has turned out that his previous girlfriends were
very afraid of his mother. By the way, Allen Hughes, whose mother is
of Armenian origin, has come to Yerevan to gain knowledge of his
historical motherland. He is so much impressed by the Armenian
hospitability that next year the whole family of the Hughes will visit
Armenia.
When summing up the "apricot yield" of Golden Apricot, one can't help
pointing out that this year the festival presented a number of
interesting premieres to cinemagoers, among them "How I ended this
summer" by Popogrebski, "Poetry" by Lee Chang-dong, and "Honey" by
Semih Kaplanoglu. Fatih Akin's retrospective was an unexpected gift
for the spectators, who received an opportunity to see three films by
Akin, which were awarded at Festival de Cannes, Berlin Festival and
Venice Festival. This year Golden Apricot has a jazz sounding. Since
July 11 6 bands have given performances in front of Moskva Cinema,
among them the Jazz Orchestra of the Public Radio and Television, Art
Voices and Night Watch Malkhas Jazz Band.
