The documentary "Birthday" by Azerbaijani director Hilal Baydarov has been screened at Bridges Film Festival.
The festival was organized within the framework of the cultural cooperation program with the Eastern Partnership countries, Azertag reported.
The documentary was highly appreciated by the viewers.
After the show, the film director answered questions from the audience.
The first feature film of the director, born in Baku in 1987 - "Undefined Elevations" (2018) was shown at the festivals of Montreal (Canada) and Kotbus (Germany). After that, he shot documentary films on "Birthday" and "One Day in Salimpasha".
The film "Birthday" won last year's Sarajevo International Documentary Film Festival.
Let's note that from January 21, "Park Cinema", located in Flame Towers has started a show of Hilal Baydarov's "Unremitting Elevations" feature film.
The Bridges Film Festival started in 2008 in the framework of celebrations of 150 years of the foundation of Corinth.
In a short period of time, Bridges has become known for being the starting point for the careers of many young people with regional screenings and successful celebrations in all of Greece.
