    Victor Elice again to chair the jury in Golden Apricot International
    Film Festival

    The 9th Golden Apricot International Film Festival will start on July
    8 in Yerevan. More than 1,100 applications were received from 70
    countries this year. Spanish well-known film director Victor Erice
    will be chair the jury.


    The 4 traditional competitions will be retained: they are feature,
    documentary, `Armenian Panorama' and `Stone'. On the occasion of
    declaring Armenia a capital of book a new project titled `Book and
    Film' was introduced, which will include movies based on Armenian and
    world classic works.

    Once again the forum Directors Without Borders will be organized. It
    is planned to organize a course called Cinema Journalists Without
    Borders. The organizers of the festival again face difficulties
    because of the lack of cinema houses and halls like in the previous
    years.

    `We are limited in terms of premises, the halls are few, we are even
    trying not to increase the number of the films. If it increases
    independent of us, we appear in a difficult situation. It is also
    natural, no spectator can watch 150 films in 7 days. Therefore, we are
    trying to organize everything so that anyone can find something
    corresponding to his/her taste and preferences,' the Festival Program
    Director Mikayel Stamboltsyan said.
