Top Russian filmmaker Andrei Konchalovsky is uniquely placed to explore the dramatic events that rocked Baku 25 years ago and contributed to the fall of the USSR. As a Russian-born citizen of the Soviet Union, his acclaimed documentary on the political and social turbulence that led to a resurgence of Azerbaijan’s national identity after decades under the hammer and sickle combines the views both of an insider and a dispassionate observer as the history books turned over a new chapter. Buta remembers the 25th anniversary of the massacre of supporters of the Popular Front of Azerbaijan on Jan 20, 1990 with a special screening of Konchalovsky’s work, introduced by the director himself.
