The 7th Annual Pomegranate Film Festival (POM]), held in Toronto, Canada, officially ended its seventh season on Sunday, October 21, 2012 with a sold out world premiere. POM VII celebrated an extremely successful four-day weekend (October 18-21), featuring a variety of 34 films from 12 different countries; including 10 world premieres that set a new record for festival attendance. The festival concluded with a sold out world premiere screening of the comedy Lost and Found in Armenia directed by Gor Kirakosian with stars Jamie Kennedy and Angela Sarafyan in attendance. The 2012 POM Awards Ceremony shortly followed with jury members Silva Basmadjian, Executive Producer of the National Film Board of Canada; filmmaker and author of the graphic novel War Gods, Roger Kupelian, playwright and actor Hrant Alianak and acclaimed cinematographer Norayr Kaspar presenting the 2012 awards. The 7th season allowed POM to push the boundaries by introducing subject matter that wasn't previously screened at the Toronto festival. Symphony of Sin, a collection of eight short rated R films including Yukiko, allowed POM attendees to explore the dark side of the creative mind and experience a variety of thrillers and horror films.
