Azerbaijan's Endless Corridor to be screened in Spain

Lithuanian director Aleksandras Brokas' film about the Khojaly Massacre will be demonstrated at Girona Cinema Theatre in Barcelona, Spain.

The Endless Corridor will be screened as part of the Human Rights Film Festival. The festival is the most important event on Human Rights in Catalonia, one of Spain's most important and widely internationally established festivals.

The premiere of the documentary was held on July 1 2014 at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA). Gerald Rafshoon (US), a Grammy Award winner, and Aleksandras A. Brokas (Lithuania) are the documentary's producers.

Endless Corridor has been submitted for more than 60 film festivals throughout the world. Most have already included it in their official programmes.

Endless Corridor follows two journalists, Lithuanian Richard Lapaitis and Russian Victoria Ivleva, on their return to Azerbaijan 20 years after covering the horrific Khojaly Massacre during the Armenian–Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh. They journey to find the survivors they had first met in the aftermath of the Armenian attack. The accounts of victims tell a dramatic story of the humanity and inhumanity of events in western Azerbaijan on 26 February 1992.

The film is narrated by Jeremy Irons, the Oscar-winning British actor, and the Emmy-winning American producer Gerald Rafshoon was the Executive Producer.

The film was presented in Istanbul, Ankara, Rome, Vilnius, London, Paris, Dublin, Berlin, Bern and Luxembourg in February as part of the Justice for Khojaly campaign, organized by Leyla Aliyeva, Vice-President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation.
