Tokyo, 5 April, /AJMEDIA/
On April 4, the Nizami Cinema Center hosted the premiere of the feature film “Taghiyev: Tsar”, dedicated to the life of the prominent philanthropist Haji Zeynalabdin Taghiyev.
The presentation ceremony was attended by Arzu Aliyeva — the film’s director and executive producer, and President of the Baku Media Center — along with Minister of Culture Adil Karimli, members of the Milli Majlis, and prominent figures from science and culture.
The film was produced by the Baku Media Center with support from the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, the Ministry of Culture, and the Cinema Agency.
“Taghiyev: Tsar” is the second instalment of the four-part Taghiyev saga, which depicts the life and charitable legacy of Haji Zeynalabdin Taghiyev.
Set in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the film captures key historical events in Baku and other regions of Azerbaijan. As the capital prepares to welcome the Tsar, Baku’s power centers are mobilized. In this context, Taghiyev — already a famous millionaire and philanthropist — takes crucial steps using his sharp intellect, while also facing serious disputes with the city’s administration.
