“Ucom has supported the creation and development of quality media content since its founding day. For years, Ucom has made serious financial investments, particularly for the creation of high quality Armenian TV content. With this step we’ve triggered the development of not only the Armenian filmmaking, but the professional growth of directors, screenwriters and artists, creating those quality products. New generation of photographers, creating quality content, should have also become a part of the entire process”, said Hayk Yesayan, the Co-founder and Director General at Ucom.

Ucom joins efforts as a communications partner to ensure that Armenia’s creative voices are heard on global platforms”.

Talented creators who have been awarded a scholarship by the “Creative Armenia” and the Armenian General Benevolent Union, as well as the winners of the East-West Residency program to visit Villa Empain in Brussels, have also participated in the event and shared their experience and success stories with each other.
