/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Lark Farm shot by Paolo and Vittorio Taviani will
open the 4th Golden Apricot film festival to be held in Yerevan July
9-14, festival founder Harutyun Khachatryan told a news conference
in Yerevan. Taviani brothers, scriptwriter Antonia Arslan and some
actors will attend the premiere, he said, Novosti Armenia reports.
The Lark Farm is a joint work of Italy, Spain, UK, France and Belgium
with a 9.7 million-euro budget.
The film examines the Armenian Genocide perpetrated by Turkish forces
in 1915. Paolo and Vittorio Taviani have sought to recreate the events
of the period by concentrating on the fate of one Armenian family.
The film's screenplay is based on a novel by Antonia Arslan-a
literature professor now living in Italy-and deals with the history
of Arslan's family, a respectable middle-class Armenian family living
in a provincial Turkish city.
Golden Apricot, which is rated as the most prestigious in the region,
will kick off in Charles Aznavour Square, at the Moscow cinema.
