The award was handed today, July 18, by HFPA member Yoram Kahana. HFPA takes interest in foreign films, and one of its objectives is to introduce American society to the works of foreign cinematographers. With that purpose, HFPA representatives attend different film festivals (Cannes and Venice festivals). As a representative of the Association, I attend Yerevan festival for the first time, and I am very impressed. I hope, HFPA will accept my proposal for including "Golden Apricot" in the list of festivals followed by out association.
