"Looking for Palladin" to be screened in Yerevan

July 13, 2009 - 18:05 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Within the frames of "Golden Apricot" international film festival, Yerevan will host the presentation of "Looking for Palladin" (director: Andjey Krakovsky). The film tells about a young Hollywood agent sent to Guatemala to find two-time Oscar winner actor Jack Palladin who had been living in US for over 20 years.



A very warm film featuring neither sex nor violence, it became a kind of bridge between different nations, cultures and age groups. " 'Looking for Palladin' reveals the prejudices of contemporary American youth," Krakivsky told a press conference.



It was the first foreign film shot in Guatemala after "Tarzan and the Green Goddess" (1938), director said.



Shot quite recently, "Looking for Palladin" has been already declared as the best film during Latin American film festivals in Orlando and Kunis as well as during Wine Country Festival in Napa.
