Within the framework of the 8th British Films Festival, film ‘Bloody
Sunday’, directed by Paul Greengrass, will be screened today in
Yerevan.
Film’s producer Dan Malan, who is on a visit to Armenia at the
invitation by the British Council, said that the movie’s important
feature is that in can be close to Armenian audience. "It sets the
events that the Irish couldn’t forget and the British couldn’t speak
of them at the top of their voice," said Dan Malan. "I hope that
Armenian and Turkish directors will come up with the same initiative
and will jointly shoot a movie," he added.
Bloody Sunday (2002) depicts the 1972 shootings of Northern Irish
anti-internment activists by British soldiers in an almost documentary
style; it shared First Prize at the 2002 Berlin Film Festival with
Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away.
The 8th British Films Festival is being held in Armenia from March 22
to March 26, screening 6 awarded films of directors of British origin.
