Mariam Ohanyan: Choice of topics is free: The most important thing is women’s point of view
XII International Film Festival “Woman” held from November 3-7 in Yerevan ended, the winners are known. Womennet.am talked to the director of film festival Mariam Ohanyan.
“Reinvent the place of a woman in a society, highlight their problems through cinema, to form a new base, which will contribute to the promotion of films created by women, disclosure of new names, as well as inter-perception of cultures of different nationalities, – this is the official definition of the “Woman” festival.
– Examining the course of the last few years, we can note that film festival “Woman” has also a social function: our screenings are free while the represented films are human stories. Perhaps not all the films are of high value in terms of cinematography, but the most important thing is that they are human. Very often it is the film, which people can enjoy, get excited – something missing in our lives. Our festival is also a very good training platform for students. Here they can see what is done in other countries.
