"Georgian cinema could not play all the actors, and in the 50-60's weight Georgian actors played in Azerbaijani films. A conversation took place in this way. In the 1964 film "Where is Ahmed?" played a debutante of our theater and film Nona Padzhuashvili," he said.
Shovgi Mehdizadeh, regional manager of SOCAR, which is sponsoring the project, said that Azerbaijan and Georgia had ancient cultural ties, including the field of cinema.
"Performing arts of Azerbaijan were born in Tbilisi in mid-19th century, when the city was the spiritual and cultural center of the Caucasus. In addition, the first years of independence in 1918, when our theater and opera began to develop, one of the first actors who were actively involved in it, were natives of Georgia, Tbilisi. Today we try to maintain that tradition," said Mehdizadeh.

To show this, we need to show our cinema," said the journalist Zurab Dvali. -02D-

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?
