    YEREVAN

    YEREVAN, JUNE 18, ARMENPRESS: The Armenian delegation has retuned from
    the Annecy International Animation Film Festival held June 4-9.Armenia
    was represented at the festival with retrospective showing of the
    animation films by Robert Sahakyants.

    "The participation allowed the visitors to get aware of existence
    of the Armenian animation film, because many attributed the Armenian
    production to the soviet one," Davit Sahakyants, Director of "Robert
    Sahakyants Production" animation studio, told Armenpress.

    According to him, the Armenian delegation reached an agreement on
    participating in international festivals due in Amsterdam, Bologna,
    Moscow and Zagreb.

    "Anahit" animation film especially raised a high interest, as no less
    than 200 people are usually involved in analogous big projects, whereas
    "Anahit" was produced thanks to a smaller group of specialists," Mr
    Sahakyants said. He noted that one of the biggest Persian animation
    studios will, in all appearances, buy the right of showing "Anahit"
    in their country.

    "Participation in a similar festival is already a great achievement
    for Armenia," he stressed, adding that in 2013 Armenia will participate
    in the festival with 1 or 2 short-length films.

    The Annecy International Animation Film Festival was created in 1960
    and takes place at the beginning of June in the town of Annecy,
    France. Initially occurring every two years, the festival became
    annual in 1998. The festival is a competition between cartoon films
    of various techniques (animated drawings, cut out papers, modelling
    clay, etc.). Annecy International Animation Film Festival is one of
    the most authoritative festivals of the world.
