During the seven days of the festival, the viewers may watch over 130 films programmed in the various thematic and non-competitive sections, as well as in two international competitions reserved to feature-length narratives and documentaries. The Golden Apricot (Grand prize) and the Silver Apricot (Special mention) are awarded in each category.

The honorary chairman is Canadian film director Atom Egoyan. In 2009, Golden Apricot Yerevan IFF received the Hollywood Foreign Press Award which was the worthy estimation of the festival by this prestigious organization of cinema journalists and film critics.
