A weeklong international film festival that began in Yerevan on Sunday is presenting a total of 170 feature, short feature films and documentaries, with 65 of them included in the competition program.
Prizes at the ninth edition of the Golden Apricot will be in four sections – feature films, documentaries, short films (a category called Stone) and Armenian films (Armenian Panorama).
On July 7 many representatives of the cinema world, who have arrived in Yerevan for the festival, attended the most spectacular part of the opening ceremony – the blessing of apricots at St. Zoravor Church.
(Apricot is held as a national fruit in Armenia, hence the name of the festival that takes place every year around mid-summer the time when apricots are ripe and in abundance).
