The screenings are organized by the British Council, in partnership with Nariman Film Production, and with the support of the Union of Young Film-Makers.

They are part of the Echoing Voices project in five countries of the Black Sea region which uses art, specifically film, to engage key players and audiences in debate about the influence of conflict on daily life. 

On 16 March the film Five Minutes of Heaven, directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel and starring Liam Neeson and James Nesbitt , will be shown.

Bloody Sunday, directed by Paul Greengrass and starring James Nesbitt and Tim Pigott-Smith, will be shown on 17 March.

The same day Don Mullan, co-producer and associate producer on Bloody Sunday and Five Minutes of Heaven, will lead discussion on the films. 

Don Mullan (born in 1956) is an Irish humanitarian worker and media producer. Mullan was Director of AFrI (Action from Ireland) 1979-93 during which he and colleagues developed the Great Famine Project. He was one of the first in the Irish world to recognize the approaching 150th anniversary of the Great Hunger as 'a unique historical moment'.

The partner in the project, Narimanfilm, is a private film production company founded in Azerbaijan in 1993. Its mission is to encourage the development of Azerbaijani cinematography through the training of professional staff and promotion of films at home and abroad.

The films will be shown at the Union of Young Film-Makers (Government House, Entrance No 5, second floor). 

Entry is free. Simultaneous translation will be provided during the screenings.
