Czech Film on Yezidis Goes to Al-Jazeera
3/25/2006 KurdishMedia.com - By Petr Kubalek
Prague (KurdishMedia.com) 24 March 2006: A Czech documentary film on
Yezidis will be featured at the Aljazeera Television Production
Festival in Doha, Qatar next week. The film was chosen to the
competition of non-Arabic documentaries at the festival organized by
the Al-Jazeera satellite television network.
The 52-minute long documentary was made by Czech filmmaker Petr Zrno
in 2004, concluding thus five years of research, film shooting in the
field, and studio work. To a major extent, it was the goodwill of
Yezidi communities in Germany, Iraqi Kurdistan, Armenia, and Syria
that has contributed to the final shape of the film. The work has, so
far, collected prizes at regional festivals in the Czech Republic and
Slovakia.
