This year Endless Corridor was awarded the main prize - Best of Show, which is awarded for the best idea and the best of its implementation.
Recall that the film tells about the fate of victims of the Khojaly tragedy 20 years later, the causes and origins of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, the search for the causes of the massacre and the lack of punishment of those responsible.
Work on this tape was done for several years in Azerbaijan, Lithuania, Armenia, and Moscow.
After filming in the place, a lot of work was carried out in Britain and the United States, where translations were made and texts were sounded, involving an Oscar winner, the famous British actor Jeremy Irons.
In the US, the work was produced by the famous American filmmaker Gerald Rafshoon.
The film touches humanitarian, political, historical and geopolitical aspects of the process taking place in the adjustment period after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
The main contribution of this tape can be considered reliable and objective analysis of all these events, and a clear answer to the question who are guilty of the massacres of civilians in Khojaly. -02B-
