Golden Apricot 15th International Film Festival is to start on July 8, 2018 to unite the festival fans for eight days.
Representatives of Golden Apricot Yerevan International Film Festival, Armenian Ministry of Culture and festival’s General Partner VivaCell-MTS announced the start of the film festival that is very popular both in Armenia and abroad.
“This year’s festival is of particular importance as it is jubilee. On the way to accomplish our mission over the past 15 years we have remained loyal to festival’s slogan “Crossroads of Cultures and Civilizations”. The Ministry of Culture of Armenia and our General Partner VivaCell-MTS have contributed greatly to the festival. I would like to thank all of our colleagues thanks to whom Golden Apricot is one of the most important international cultural events in the region and has its unique place on the world film market,” said festival founder Harutyun Khachatryan.
“It’s been 15 years now the Golden Apricot International Film Festival reiterates cinema is one of the pillars and cornerstones in developing the culture. Obviously, the festival educates generations, but it equally shapes a system of values. The proof is the growing number of young people interested and captivated by the art of cinema and the culture in general. This is a truly significant contribution into our country. In this jubilee year VivaCell-MTS stands by the side of the festival,” said VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian.
