With the support of UNICEF Armenia, in the frames of the project “I Have Rights”, for the first time the projects “Every Child Needs a Family” and “All by Kids” were implemented.

In the framework of the project “Every Child Needs a Family” a press conference was organized with the participation of Festival organizers, UNICEF Armenia representatives, cinema and theater well-known actor Ivar Kalnins who visited Yerevan with his family, his wife and 9-year-old daughter, with the special purpose of participating in the above-mentioned project. The participants once again highlighted the problems of children living out of families and discussed the possible ways of solving them.

A new nomination, “All by Kids”, was established which included films made by children and for children in various countries. A new model of Children Jury work was implemented: the films included in this nomination were distributed in 3 Yerevan schools.  In each of them 100 pupils watched the films and gave their verdict by secret voting. The winning film was “The Playmate” made in “Shar” School-Studio (Russia, 2010).
