    ARPA INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES CALL FOR ENTRIES

    Los Angeles, CA - The 2006 Arpa International Film Festival is
    accepting Armenian films for their 9th annual festival in Hollywood,
    California.

    The Arpa Foundation for Film, Music and Art (AFFMA) stages its festival
    in October for filmmakers exploring diaspora, war, exile, genocide,
    dual-identity and Armenian culture.

    AFFMA founder Sylvia Minassian says, "Arpa celebrates artistic vision
    and cultural diversity in cinema while illuminating the Armenian
    experience. We're so pleased that people in both the U.S.

    and abroad are becoming aware of the opportunities Arpa gives
    filmmakers to share our unique history through cinema."

    While Armenians live all over the globe, the largest population of
    Armenians outside of Armenia is in Southern California. "Los Angeles
    is a city of unlimited cultural power and Armenians contribute to that
    richness immensely," Minassian says. With that in mind, Arpa honors
    those filmmakers who address the common circumstances of diasporan
    people, redefining what Los Angeles stands for as a global city,
    through the presentation of Armenian films.

    The Arpa International Film Festival accepts films for competition
    in the following categories:

    Feature Length (more than 41 minutes) Short Film (less than 40 minutes)
    Documentary Animation

    Entries must be received no later than June 30, 2006.

    Submission rules and entry form are available online at www.AFFMA.org
    or www.WithoutABox.com
