People seek to learn about past eras by conducting research on the internet, watching films, or being regular attendees of theatrical performances.

Various problems and gaps related to Azerbaijani cinema frequently become the subject of discussions. Sometimes we encounter debates about the lack of sufficient appreciation from the audience, the production of quality films, or the presence of censorship. In recent years, independent filmmakers have often written about the increasing difficulties they face in producing and distributing films in Azerbaijan on social networks.
