Another meeting has been organized at the International Mugham
Center within the Shusha Talks project, Azernews reports.
The head of the Culture Ministry's Media and Communication
Department, Maryam Gafarzada, informed the meeting about the Shusha
Talks project.
Initiated by the Azerbaijan Culture Ministry, the project aimed
to revive the art in Azerbaijan's liberated territories.
The meeting under the theme 'Screen works dedicated to our
historical victory and our cultural capital Shusha' was attended by
representatives of the film industry, well-known film critics,
directors, actors, bloggers, etc.
Head of the Culture Ministry's Audiovisual and Interactive Media
Department Rufat Aliyev spoke about the films and projects made by
the ministry.
Around 74 films were produced with the support of the ministry
in two years. Thirty of them are full-length films. Ten films from
the 'Unseen Heroes' series of documentaries were shot as well.
Currently, the shooting of the film from this series continues.
At the same time, Bozdag Film studio (Turkiye) will shoot an 8-part
feature series, called 'Karabakh Patriotic War'.
Rufat Aliyev also noted a documentary Fulya, co-produced by
Azerbaijan and Turkiye.
The film tells about CNN-Turk TV military reporter, Fulya
Ozturk, and cameraman Xalil Kahraman, who played a major role in
conveying the truth about the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War to the
world.
Film director, People's Artist Vagif Mustafayev shared his
memories about shooting the film Scream when the First Karabakh War
was going on.
After the 44-day Patriotic War, suggestions were made on social
networks to film its second part. People want to see a sequel to
the film.
They asked why Vagif Mustafayev is not shooting the second part.
As the offers increased, the Culture Ministry asked the film
director to make a sequel to the film under the name The life seems
to be beautiful.
Javidan Sharifov, who directed the documentary Shusha, you are
free! spoke about the filming process.
'When we went to Shusha, our goal was not to shoot a film but to
get archival materials, to film the ruins after the war. After
viewing the footage, the management commissioned the film, a joint
production of Baku Media Center and Salnamefilm studio with the
support of the Culture Ministry. The documentary was shot on the
eve of Victory Day. Interesting details of the Shusha operation,
one of the most important battles of the Second Karabakh War, were
presented to viewers for the first time in this film. The film
includes interviews of soldiers and officers, who carried out the
Shusha operation, as well as exclusive shots, taken during the
operation,' said Sharifov.
Honored Art worker Jamil Guliyev informed the audience about the
films shot in Karabakh.
'In the history of Azerbaijani cinema, Samad Mardanov was the
only film director armed with great skills to bring inner feelings
to the screen. He made a short film about the life of nomads in
Karabakh. Unfortunately, that film has not reached to this day.
Director Abdul Hasanov made several films related to Karabakh, and
director Huseyin Seyidzada shot the film Koroglu in Askaran Castle.
These film directors are people, who made great contributions to
Azerbaijani cinema,' said Guliyev.
