BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 20. A documentary film titled "Creator" dedicated to the revival of Azerbaijan's Karabakh and East Zangezur has been presented within the framework of WUF13, Trend reports.
The film reflects the priorities of the World Urban Forum, such as ensuring sustainable living of people, a new urban planning philosophy, and the establishment of the "Smart City" concept.
Speaking at the presentation, the film's scriptwriter, chairman of the Azerbaijan Journalists Network Public Union, Ayaz Mirzayev, said that the film is dedicated to the 5th anniversary of the Second Karabakh War.
"Our main goal in the screenplay is to realistically depict the restoration and construction work carried out in Karabakh and East Zangezur, as well as the results of the 'Great Return' process to these regions. If we had to write a short summary for this film, we would say exactly this: A story of a people who created a city from ruins, a future from memories, and pride from sorrow.
The documentary was shot in the liberated territories of Azerbaijan - Aghdam, Khojaly, Shusha, Khankendi, Jabrayil, Fuzuli, Lachin, Kalbajar, and Zangilan.
