Leila Hosseini to judge at Apricot Tree Ujan filmfest

Iranian filmmaker Leila Hosseini‌ has been invited as a jury member to the Apricot Tree Ujan International Documentary Film Festival in Armenia.

The 2021 edition of the Apricot Tree Ujan International Documentary Film Festival will be held on August 22-29.

The goal of the festival is to acquaint audiences with the customs and traditions, arts and craft of big and small nations and to interest young filmmakers in the ethnographic and anthropologic material, stimulating their creative search in that direction.

The festival is as much a celebration of documentary films that depict the heartbeats of diverse ethnic groups, communities or groups of people, as it is a platform where filmmakers from around the world can meet, share and discuss ideas in a clear atmosphere and possibly make plans for future collaborations.

‘Meeting’ by Reza Majlesi, ‘Beloved’ by Yasser Talebi and ‘Jafar Najafi’ by Jafar Najafi, all from Iran, were among the winners at the previous edition of the Armenian event.
