YEREVAN, JUNE 8, ARMENPRESS: A new project involving cinema
professionals from the Eastern Partnership countries has been launched
in Armenia with EU assistance. Armenpress reports that Artistic
Director of Golden Apricot Yerevan IFF Susanna Harutyunyan mentioned
during the press conference that Directors Across Borders (DAB) is a
project implemented by the Golden Apricot Cinema Development Fund and
supported by European Union. This initiative will organize a range
of seminars and workshops, as well as provide on-line opportunities
for cinema makers who live in Armenia, Georgia, Belarus, Moldova,
Ukraine and Azerbaijan.
DAB was developed on the basis of the Directors Across Borders
co-production forum, which started in 2007 within the Golden Apricot
Yerevan International Film Festival. The forum has been successfully
implemented for five years and has facilitated film co-production in
the region. Directors and producers from around 100 film projects
have been selected for the forum and had the opportunity to attend
script and production development workshops held by industry leading
specialists, as well as meet representatives of various important
international cinema funds.
Head of International department of the festival Tatevik Manukyan
mentioned that in 2011 DAB received a grant from the European Community
represented by the Delegation of the European Union to Armenia within
the Eastern Partnership Culture Program to develop a broader scope
during 2011-2013. This will include a DAB co-production forum, an
Armenia-Turkey Cinema Platform, Cinema Journalism Across borders,
Film Workshops and other activities.
