The National Cinema Center of Armenia joined the European Audiovisual Observatory in 2012. Set up in Strasburg in 1992 the European Audiovisual Observatory is tasked to fill in a lack of information and ensure transparency concerning the audiovisual industry. Armenian membership in the European Audiovisual Observatory ensures visibility of Armenia’s audiovisual industry in the international arena.
The primary role of the Observatory is gathering information on the audiovisual industries currently from 41 countries, which is an unbelievably huge task. The Cinema Center cooperates with the Observatory by presenting collected and processed data on the number of local cinemas, box-office, share of screened national, European, American, 3D and animated films.
