Azerbaijani Film Premiere in the USA

HBSCA invites you for the North American premiere of the Azerbaijani film The 40th Door. It will be featured at AMC Studio 30 Theaters on Dunvale, 2949 Dunvale, Houston, TX 77063 (south off Westheimer) on Sunday, April 19, 9 pm ($10) and Tuesday, April 21, 5 pm ($6). The movie, which was directed by Baku-born Elchin Guliyev, author and director of about 50 documentary and feature films, has been nominated for the prestigious Remi award at this year's WorldFest and plans are currently being made for the Director to personally present the screenings in Houston. The film tells the story of a 14 year old boy, Rustam, who moves to the city to find a job after his father is killed by the Russian mafia.  After a group of racketeers attacks him and demands a portion of his earnings, Rustam starts to dream of another life as a musician.  He eventually finds an unusual friend who is alone in the darkness, much like himself. The screening of this movie is facilitated by the Houston-Baku Sister City Association. Special thanks go to the Ministry of Culture in Baku for their support in making this screening possible.
