Today, the British Council concluded wrapped up the 14th British Film Festival that was supported by the British Embassy to Armenia and Beeline Armenia. The organizers said that this year, the interest of the Armenian audience for the British films has been increased, “The films were viewed by about 25000 people in Yerevan and marzes. The best British films for 2015 were screened. This film, each film was screened three times and the halls were packed, this means that the festival has become a highly anticipated event,” said Director of the British Council in Armenia, Arevik Saribekyan, in an interview with Aravot.am.

She emphasized that when working on the program of the festival, diverse films were selected so that each person would watch the movie of his interest, “For example, the film about Amy Winehouse became quite known and also won an “Oscar”. The feedbacks were many. The users were even sharing their impressions on our Facebook page.”

Under the Festival, a Film Review Competition was also organized. Seg Kirakosyan and Artak Vardanyan who won the grand prize were awarded today. Artak Vardanyan’s review is about the film “Amy”. The documentary film about the late 27-year-old Amy Winehouse, as Artak describes, is close to TV journalism, “All the rules of journalistic ethics were preserved in this film. I myself am a fan of Winehouse. The message of my review is that the journalists can ruin the life of an artist, to lift it up or do so that he/she makes a mistake. Amy is known as new in this film. You understand that she did not want glory and recognition, all this was done by the journalists and the people who have signed agreements. She wanted to sing jazz in an ordinary club… The film critics highly appreciated this movie,” – said he in an interview with Aravot.am. Note that in addition to organizing competitions, this year, the British Film Festival had invited the British artist Simon Wilkinson to Yerevan.
