Great news: Armenian/Azeri gay love story Artush and Zaur to turn into the film.EXCLUSIVE: Ali Akbar's Artush and Zaur will be filmed by a Canadian director. Source: Author himselfNeedless to say, look very much forward to see the film accomplished. Hope, it will live up to the expectations.
@ljmaximus
Reliable sources told me that scenes of Tbilisi will be shot in Tbilisi; scenes of Baku and Yerevan will be shot in Istanbul.
No more details known as of now. Will keep you posted, if/when new details emerge.
Wouldn't it be great if someone really tried to push for filming in Yerevan and Baku (obviously without any publicity or announcement to avoid the predictable problems given how many taboos are being broken)?
ReplyDeleteI wish... But taking into account sensitivities, I guess it would be too risky right now... Let's hope, one day...
ReplyDeletethis is amazing, I was just dreaming it that one day we will have a movie about Armenian reality.
