To continue the fulfillment of the goals as stated by the “Cooperation Agreement” signed
in April 2025 between “Gagik Tsarukyan” Foundation and “Panarmenian Federations of Film
Producers” NGO, PFFP will present Armenia at the 82nd Venice Film Festival for the first time,
from August 28th to September 3rd, in one of the most significant platforms for the international
film industry – The Industry Gold Club of the Venice Production Bridge, which will be held at the
Hotel Excelsior Venice on the Lido.
After nearly one month of cooperation with the Foundation and correspondance with the
management of the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, the Panarmenian Federations of Film
Producers recently received the Accreditation for the Venice Production Bridge and the Venice
Industry Gold Club, as well as the Invitation from the General Manager of Biennale, Mr Andrea
Del Mercato.
The Venice International Film Festival was established in 1932, with the screening of our
compatriot Ruben Mamulyan’s film “Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde”, and has been proudly bearing the
uniqueness of being the first film festival in the world for more than 90 years. It is an exceptional
platform where the high-class audience is presented with the assortment of the best of modern
cinema; at the same time it gives filmmakers the chance to meet influential industry
representatives in the historic halls of Venice – to start their cooperation.
In Venice, the Federation will present 5 noteworthy international projects of its members,
which are in different stages of production. These projects have been carefully selected from
those presented at Cannes Market and the authors of which have proven their competitiveness
through the presence of Coproduction, Distribution Agreements signed at Marche du Film and
international investments.
Film Industry representatives will also separately be given the presentation on the tallest
statue of Jesus Christ in the world.
The federation will disclose details of the project to the public in the coming weeks, and
the results will be summarized in the beginning of October during a press conference.
