This year the festival has planned to show films by Harutyun Khachatryan. Director’s films such as “The Border”, “the Return of the Poet”, "Return to the Promised Land", “The Kond”, “The Last Station” “The White Town” are planned to be shown during the festival. Hovhannes Galstyan’s “Entangled Parallels” film is also included in the program of the Festival named “Perspective”.
Hovahannisyan is confident that “a good film will anyway reach to the audience” and believs “that unwritten law has an effect for Armenian films as well”.
In addition to the film presentations, Armenian delegation will participate in the film forum held within the Festival frameworks.

50 years separate the 31st Moscow Film Festival and the very first one. I think it is now clear to all that despite all the objective difficulties the festival meets its half-century anniversary in good shape. In the past few years we have achieved the necessary stability and managed to rekindle the interest of common viewers in non-commercial cinema, which, after all, is the main objective of the Moscow International Film Festival. The Moscow film forum – last year’s event provided ample evidence – is more than a mere “world film championship”. Its programs combined movies which were very different in content and artistic treatment. Among the favorites there were real gems of film art which our festival has every right to be proud of. Every year in the “Oktyabr”, “Khudozhestvenny” and “Pushkinsky” cinema halls the Moscow Film Festival offers a unique opportunity to see the most striking films of the past year brought here from all over the world, as well as the time-tested masterpieces of film art which are often totally unknown in Russia.
