Azerbaijani documentary receives another award at international film festival in Russia
Baku, October 5 (AZERTAC). “The Native Hearth”, a documentary by Azerbaijani filmmakers, has received “Russia and abroad” award at the “Tour” International Film Festival in Tula, Russia.
“The Native Hearth” is a co-production between Azerbaijan (“Cinema house”) and Russia (“DS Films”). The production of the movie was funded by the Azeri Ministry of Culture and Tourism and Russian Ministry of Culture.
The festival was organized in collaboration with local charitable organization which helps the homeless.
This festival showcases contemporary European films, documentaries and short fiction films, and also aims to encourage film trends in European countries.
After a decline in the festival programme`s proportion of short documentaries over the last few years, the programme advisory board has now decided to make them a category in its own right. The films listed here are as exciting, instructive and entertaining as their full-length relatives.
The festival provides an opportunity for young directors not only to learn the secrets of world cinema and film production, but also to participate in the formation of the Central European auteur cinema.
The festival has a perfect festival size, professional but still intimate, with 1.000 accredited industry professionals.
