Iranian director producing film in Azerbaijan Republic
TEHRAN, Sept. 14 (MNA) -- Iranian director Babak Shirinsefat's film
`Aisuda' is currently in the pre-production stage in the cities of
Lankaran and Astara in the Azerbaijan Republic, the Persian service
of Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported on Wednesday.
`The 90-minute movie is about the Karabakh war between Azerbaijan and
Armenia. It tells the story of two Azeri refugees, showing the
influence of war on people's lives,' he said.
The film also features Azeri actors and Iranian actors like Farhad
Qaemian, he added.
He intends to complete the movie in time to screen it in winter 2006
at the Fajr International Film Festival in Tehran.
Some parts of the movie will also be shot in Iran, he said.
Shirinsefat's other film on the Karabakh war, `The Zero-Hour Train',
was warmly welcomed at the Baku Film Festival in October 2004.
For over a decade, one million displaced Azeris have been living
under appalling conditions since the Karabakh war. These people are
living in tents, underground caves, and old train cars. The film
shows the difficult plight of these refugees who have been forgotten
by the entire world.
