The premiere of the film "Khojaly: The Last Wedding" took place in Baku

The presentation of the feature-documentary film "Khojaly: The Last Wedding," shot with the support of Global Media Group and Report news agency, was held at the Nizami Cinema Center.

As Report informs, the film's plot is based on real events - a wedding interrupted 33 years ago due to the shelling of Khojaly by Armenian militants.

According to the film's plot, the groom Vasif Gafarov and the bride Durdana Mamedova, as well as their relatives and guests from that wedding, returned to their hometown decades later to continue the once-interrupted celebration. Years later, the traditional "Vagzaly" sounds again on the liberated land, filling Khojaly with a festive atmosphere.

The Khojaly tragedy of 1992 became one of the bloodiest pages in human history, taking away not only hundreds of lives but also the hopes, dreams, and joy of many families. The film reflects the idea of how the Azerbaijani people, who survived the Khojaly grief, can focus on a positive, joyful future.

The idea for the film came from a preserved black and white photograph from that wedding on January 18, 1992. In the film, this photograph is recreated in color and serves as a symbol of Khojaly's revival.

The filming took place in Khojaly (documentary footage) and Agsu (artistic part).

The project was implemented under the leadership of Elnur Nazim oglu Abdullayev, Chairman of the Board of Global Media Group. The author of the idea and screenplay is Niyam Shirinov, the director is Yusif Alekperzade, and the producer is Fuad Huseynaliyev.
