YEREVAN, JUNE 18, NOYAN TAPAN. This year the Golden Apricot (Voske Tsiran) 5th International Film Festival to be held on July 13-20 will have neither opening nor closure solemn ceremonies. Film director Haroutiun Khachatrian, festival's Director, stated at the June 18 press conference. In his words, "they would rather spend these funds on bringing films than preparing concert programs," especially that all weighty festivals organize a very modest opening and closure. Haroutiun Khachatrian said that tickets of all festival films will cost 300 drams thanks to the VivaCell company, which is to transfer the rest 1200 drams of tickets' cost to Moscow and Nairi cinemas.
