Those of you, who live in Armenia or are visiting the country these days, know that Golden Apricot International Film Festival, the biggest cinema event of Armenia has started. Unfortunately, our studio has no films in the program this year, as our main projects are still in progress. Anyway, we were looking forward to the festival, because there is always lot of interesting things going on during it, and it’s a huge fun.
In frames of the festival, another workshop of ATCP (Armenia Turkey Cinema Platform), an initiative of Golden Apricot and Anadolu Kultur from Turkey, has started. This platform was created to support and encourage the cooperation of Armenian and Turkish filmmakers and producers, and it’s growing bigger every year.
If you follow our news (and you should, of course), then you remember that our Neighbors project was applied and won additional funding in frames of ATCP in April of this year in Istanbul. That is why on the first day of this month’s workshop I presented the project to the new applicants, as well as to the organizers and special guests. The film will be a part of the next year’s Golden Apricot FF program.
Besides, our studio will host some of the filmmaker guests of the festival this week, who kindly agreed to do short workshops for us and for the younger students of Manana Center.
Enjoy the festival and try to watch as many films as you can. It’s a pity most of us are going to miss the last part of it, as we’re leaving for Turkey at the end of this week, to go on with filming the Neighbors.
