In his speech, the director complained about the difficulties of making a film in Armenia, but noted that he still went through all the tests and was able to make a film. He also noted that it was difficult to find actors who "agreed" to supplement the "black list" of Azerbaijan. However, the main thing is that after going through all the difficulties, he managed to make a film.
It should be noted that the film "Last Resident" was awarded the "Best Feature Film" and "Best Actor" in Helsinki, and the premiere of the film in Armenia took place during the 13th Golden Apricot Festival. The film tells about the last inhabitant of the Azerbaijani village, which left the Armenian population after the Armenian-Azerbaijani war. He can not leave it, as he is waiting for a daughter who became a witness of Azerbaijani pogroms and got into a psychiatric hospital.
