We are delighted to have been part of the 9th Yerevan International Short Film Festival this year with our film "Haze Over", which was honored with the Best Artistic Solution Award. We would like to sincerely thank the festival team and the jury for their kind support, careful selection, and for creating such a warm and inspiring environment for filmmakers. It was a pleasure to be part of this edition of the festival, and we truly appreciate the opportunity to share our work with an international audience.
