    Armenia selects drama as foreign language Oscar entry

    27 September, 2012 | By Elnaz Toussi



    Natalya Belyauskene's If Only Everyone will fly the flag for the
    Eurasian country and its North American premiere screening will close
    the Arpa International Film Festival in Los Angeles on Dec 1.


    The film takes place 20 years after Armenian independence and centres
    on a young Russian woman's efforts to plant a tree on her father's
    grave only to discover the burial site lies on the other side of the
    border in Armenia.

    The North American premiere of Gor Kirakosian's comedy Lost And Found
    In Armenia is set to open the festival on Nov 29.

    The festival will present more than 40 films that will include
    feature narratives, short films, documentaries, music videos and
    animated films from more than 25 countries.

    `Our committee of board members and devoted volunteers are working
    hard to stage yet another dazzling festival,' Arpa Foundation For Film
    Music And Art A founder Sylvia Minassian said. `Our goal is to launch
    the careers of emerging filmmakers and celebrate the independent film
    work of our festival's most gifted filmmakers.'
