    PRECONDITIONS FOR SHOOTING ARMENIAN-AZERI FILMS ARE APPARENT

    One of the main and profitable conditions of films is the source
    of money necessary for the film shooting and not the skills or the
    sophistication of the artists. An organization will be set up in the
    South Caucasus which is aimed at teaching the cinematographers the
    ways and means of getting financial means.

    The representatives of the new cinematographers' Association of the
    South Caucasus were in Armenia for a few days and they were looking
    for producers, directors and scenario writers, who would like to
    become members of the above-mentioned Association.

    After the meeting with the Armenian representative of state and
    private studios they claim that there is an obvious interest in
    Armenia towards their initiative.

    The Association which is mainly sponsored and financed by the
    Sweden Development and Cooperation Agency will direct its work in 4
    directions. A lobbing of the cinematography field will be organized
    for the Armenian, Georgian and Azeri specialists, training will be
    held for different specialists of the field, and the producers will
    take a course so that the films made by them will meet the European
    standards. By the way, there is much work to be done on this score.

    After the collapse of the Soviet cinematography the former USSR
    countries are unable to finance and make proper films according
    to the European criteria. "We shall invite experts who will give
    a training course on the methods how joint production is realized
    and how to present the project and details of films," mentioned
    the representative of the Association Tamara Tatishvili. Thus, the
    Association is aimed at bringing the cinema field representatives in
    line with the current international criteria.

    By the way, the Association will not finance film production. It will
    merely provide ground for the right and profitable cinema industry and
    for the joint film production in conditions of regional cooperation
    and possibilities. Though Tamara Tatishvili doesn't think that it will
    be possible to shoot joint Armenian - Azeri films in close future,
    she states that the regional establishment, the Cinematographers'
    Association of the South Caucasus, will contribute to the realization
    of the idea. "At present I think that it is improbable to make joint
    Armenian - Azeri films though I cannot give a definite answer to that
    question today. If there are such preconditions when people attempt
    to work and make films together and to develop the field of film
    industry on the national level, this is already a progress."
