New commercial on Baku city’s bid for 2020 Summer Olympic Games presented today - VIDEO
Filmed and produced by award-winning Hollywood director Rupert Wainwright, the video mixes images of the futuristic development already taking place in Azerbaijani capital with computer-generated images of how the city will look in time for 2020.
Konul Nurullayeva, the Bid CEO, said: “Baku is one of the world’s best kept secrets. Visitors are always taken by surprise by its beauty.â€
Nurullayeva continued: “Today, Baku is both a historic city – with an ancient and perfectly preserved Old City that is a world heritage site – as well as an outward-looking high-tech city, fast becoming a global meeting place. Azerbaijan is rapidly building a world-class knowledge-based economy focusing on education, sport, science and technology – and our Bid to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2020 is part of that vision and perfectly integrated with the transformations taking place in the city today.â€
“I hope that this video gives people who have not yet had the chance to visit our country the opportunity to see some of the pleasures they are missing. The ancient tradition of hospitality is deeply ingrained in every Azerbaijani. We so much look forward to welcoming the world to our city.â€
