Apricot Tree International Ethno Film Festival (ATIEFF) is held annually during the first days of October. The festival takes place in various cities and villages of Armenia (this year – Yerevan (capital), Gyumri and Udjan).
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.
Apricot Tree has two competition programs – 30 Minutes or More (for feature-length films) and 30 Minutes or Less (for short-length films).
The festival also has a Non-competition program that includes retrospectives and screenings of notable films that are relevant to the festival’s theme.
