Among Azerbaijan's rich cultural heritage, theater holds a special place. However, regional theaters, an essential part of this heritage, have long remained distant from the capital's audience, with a significantly smaller viewership compared to Baku.

Cinema has always been a mirror reflecting life’s complexities, and occasionally, it serves as a silent witness revealing profound truths. On December 25, the Nizami Cinema Center in Baku hosted a remarkable celebration of storytelling and creativity. Organized by the Azerbaijan Film Union, the event marked the conclusion of the “Dreams of Color in Black and White Letters” project, showcasing the short feature film Məhkəmə (The Trial), directed by Rovshan Isakh. More than a film premiere, the evening celebrated a collaborative journey of learning and artistic achievement.

The glamour of the silver screen often conceals the unspoken struggles of actresses, especially as they age. Behind the bright lights and applause lies a reality marked by stereotypes, societal pressures, and diminishing opportunities. For many actresses, the passage of time not only challenges their personal identities but also threatens their professional survival in an industry fixated on youth and conventional standards of beauty.
