In a long-awaited moment for Azerbaijani cinema, local directors unveiled their latest works, bringing a mix of animation, drama, and childhood reveries to the silver screen. The films, Erkən Hisslər by Nurlan Həsənli, Tərsinə Kölgələr by Hacı Səfərov, and Nərqız, an animated feature by Məsud Pənahi, were met with both enthusiasm and critique as they debuted to eager audiences.

Events in history are not merely dates or fragments of historical memory; they leave deep marks on cultural memory as well. Artists, in particular, transfer these events into their works, shaped by their personal perceptions and interpretations. January 20 is one such event that has found its place in cultural memory. Although this topic is relatively less explored in contemporary art, it has never lost its relevance. How should this historical memory be represented? How does it manifest in art?

Each year, on January 13, Lithuania commemorates the Day of Freedom Defenders, honoring the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country’s independence in 1991. This pivotal moment in Lithuanian history marked the triumph of an unyielding will for freedom over Soviet oppression. Fourteen lives were lost, hundreds were injured, but the desire for liberty remained unshaken. The Day of Freedom Defenders is a solemn occasion for Lithuanians to reflect on their past and the true cost of freedom.
