film festival, Frunze Dovlatyan, Hello, it’s me, One shot, Sergey Parajanov, Shushan Harutyunyan
“Hello, it’s me” by Frunze Dovlatyan, a very nostalgic and genie film was to open “One shot” international film festival being held in Yerevan in May 17. This much and nothing more… Friends, friends and friends only, enthusiastic people whose great efforts made this festival possible.

So, Panahi was due to take his place on the Cannes jury this year. Instead, he is incarcerated in Tehran’s notorious Evin prison, after he was arrested for unspecified crimes. The festival has left an empty chair on the jury panel.
A few days ago Jafar Panahi has begun a hunger strike to protest at his imprisonment in Iran, BBC reports.

Armenian Journalist in Jail, Ernest Vardanean, European Union, journalism, Moldova, OSCE, Shushan Harutyunyan, Tiraspol
Ernest Vardanean, a 33-year-old stringer for the Transdniester news agency Novy Region 2, is accused of spying for Moldova and could be sentenced to between 12 and 20 years in prison if found guilty. The Moldovan government, the U.S. Embassy in Chisinau, the European Union, and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe have urged authorities in Tiraspol to release Vardanean from detention and to ensure he receives a fair trial. Numerous human rights and journalists’ associations, including Reporters Without Borders, have also condemned his arrest.
While a small group of Internet bloggers and human rights activists picketed the Russian Embassy in Yerevan today, a television channel in Moldova’s breakaway region of Transdniester has aired a video showing a jailed local journalist confessing to spying. Continue reading
