The premiere of the documentary was held on July 1. The impressive Milan IFF 2015 film festival put the film on the display in “Best Short Film”, “Best Cinematography in a Documentary” and “Best Documentary Editing” nominations.

Brokas expressed his joy for the documentary’s international success: “It is a great honor for me to receive these awards. The jury focused on exceptional creative and technical quality of the Endless Corridor film. I owe my gratitude to the film crew and the Khojaly residents who shared their tragic stories with me. Such a great international attention to the documentary indicates that no one can be indifferent to the stories narrated in the film. Painful lessons of history should be finally studied, lessons should be taken from them and Khojaly tragedy should never be repeated.”
