First success in pitching

16 Nov 2007

Manana Youth Educational-Cultural Center participated in the competition of shorts dedicated to the topic of tolerance. The event was initiated by Directors without Borders organization and "Golden Apricot" Fund for Cinema Development and supported by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP)and Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) offices in Yerevan.

A total of 12 scenarios were presented to the jury, 7 passed the pre-selection and only 1 was granted the chance to be screened. All the film producers and directors were given the opportunity to pitch their work to the jury members, who would later make their choice. This was our center's first pitching session and we are happy the start was successful.

The competition was finalized on the 16th of November, the international day of tolerance, when Gor Baghdasaryan's project was awarded the production grant.
