Premiere of Interrupted Song film about Karabakh conflict slated for Nov 10

“Interrupted Song” film about Armenian and Azerbaijani soldiers will have its Moscow premiere, at Russian Cinematographers Union’s Moscow house on November 10.

The shooting group says the film is about Karabakh war. Kristina Marandi-Nachkebia, spokesperson for the film group, said representatives of Armenian and Azerbaijani communities, well-known Russian cultural and arts figures will be present at the premiere.

The authors of the film are Armenians living in Moscow. The director is Arik Manukian and the producer Ashot Poghosyan.

The reason of delay of the film is the refusal of the Azerbaijani actor to participate in further shooting because of provocations. Despite difficulties the authors of the film stayed committed to its ideology.

The authors are the financers of the film. They have refused any external funds as the people offering financial support wanted to change film’s scenario.

The authors of the film voiced hope that their work will give answers to issues relating to the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict. “All the conflicting parties should find strength in them to stop the bloodshed for the sake of future generations,” the statement of the authors says.
