Start is given to British films

British Council Azerbaijan,  in partnership with the British Embassy Baku, PwC Azerbaijan, UNICEF and 28 Cinema, is delighted to announce this year’s British Film Spring. The official opening will be on 8 April 2015 and the British Film Spring will run over five days from 8 to 12 April. All films will be screened in English, and the following British productions will be screened: Mr Turner, The Imitation Game, Pride, Hitchcock’s The Ring, The Story of Children and Film, Paddington, and (for its Baku premiere) Shaun the Sheep.  This year the British Council in partnership with UNICEF organized One Minute Jrs workshops in Baku.  This is part of an international project where a group of young people learned how to make professional short films on topics related to the social protection and inclusion of children. The subject of the workshop in Azerbaijan was ’Ability is Limitless’. Young people with sight and hearing impairments, and children from disadvantaged backgrounds had a unique opportunity to have their voices heard by a broad audience. The 3 videos which got the highest number of ‘Likes' on the British Council Azerbaijan Facebook page were selected as winners, and their films will be screened before each film during the British Film Spring.

British Film Spring offers a remarkable chance to see a collection of top British films from the past few years.  Don't miss this chance.

We cordially invite you to a Press Conference at 12.00am on Wednesday, 8 April, in 28 Cinema, Express Hall (28 Mall, crossroads of Azadlyq avenue and Fuzuli street). Speeches will be followed by a Q&A session for media representatives. –04D-
