Iran and Armenia to collaborate on TV series
TEHRAN, Aug. 26 (MNA) -- During a meeting in Yerevan last week Iran's
cultural attaché to Armenia together with Armenian cultural officials
reached a preliminary agreement to make a joint TV series.
The project was initially proposed by Iran's cultural attaché Reza
Atufi in order to extend cinematic ties between the two nations. It
is intended that the series should feature the cultural and social
life of people in the two countries.
Atufi pointed out that Iranian TV series have shown great
developments in recent years and many of them are now appropriate for
broadcasting in Armenia.
Iranian director Qasem Jafari, who also attended the meeting, went on
to say that he will submit a film script to Armenian officials. He
also emphasized the mutual capabilities of the two countries for
embarking on this project.
The Deputy Director of Armenian Public Television and Radio Levon
Galstian announced that although Iran and Armenia have established
political and economical relations, their peoples are not familiar
with each others' culture and lifestyle.
He went on to say that this cultural vacuum can be filled by
appropriate films and TV series.
Armenian National Cinematheque's director Garegin Zakoian also warmly
welcomed the proposal of the production of a collaborative TV series.
He mentioned that this project will help revitalize the Armenian
filmmaking industry.
The participants at the assembly agreed to put the proposal to the
Council of the Armenian Public Television and Radio Company.
