Azerbaijani documentary filmmaker Mohammad Alimuradi’s documentary “If You Call Me, I’ll Come” has reached the final of the Kharkov International Film Festival in Ukraine.
The subject of Alimuradi’s documentary is the story of the Azerbaijani people’s support for the Turkmen in the floods in the Turkmen Sahara last year.
This documentary was made by a young Azerbaijani cinematographer, Mohammad Alimuradi, and is about the floods that took place in the Turkmen Desert (Southern Turkmenistan) in the month of Ordibehesht in 1398.
This documentary depicts the sympathy and unity of Azerbaijani Turks, Qashqai Turks and Turkmen Desert Turks. The film also shows the role of football and the Azerbaijani football team in creating this empathy.
Mr. Alimuradi presented this documentary to six Turkmen who died in a boat accident while returning from a rescue operation in Gumushtepe.
Mohammad Alimoradi had previously written: “In this tragedy, so much support and sympathy has filled the wall of mistrust and the gaps between the two Shiite and Sunni regions. ”
As a short film, “I Call You, I’ll Come,” he tried to show the love and interests of Turks and Turkmen Shiites and Sunnis in that critical space.
