Armenia selects drama as foreign language Oscar entry
27 September, 2012 | By Elnaz Toussi
Natalya Belyauskene's If Only Everyone will fly the flag for the
Eurasian country and its North American premiere screening will close
the Arpa International Film Festival in Los Angeles on Dec 1.
The film takes place 20 years after Armenian independence and centres
on a young Russian woman's efforts to plant a tree on her father's
grave only to discover the burial site lies on the other side of the
border in Armenia.
The North American premiere of Gor Kirakosian's comedy Lost And Found
In Armenia is set to open the festival on Nov 29.
The festival will present more than 40 films that will include
feature narratives, short films, documentaries, music videos and
animated films from more than 25 countries.
`Our committee of board members and devoted volunteers are working
hard to stage yet another dazzling festival,' Arpa Foundation For Film
Music And Art A founder Sylvia Minassian said. `Our goal is to launch
the careers of emerging filmmakers and celebrate the independent film
work of our festival's most gifted filmmakers.'
