"Mugham in Montana" wins another prize

The film has been chosen as a Sierra Nevada Award Winner at the 2010 Mountain Film Festival, the festival's highest level of recognition.  Only a small handful of select films awarded this exclusive honor. The 2010 Awards Ceremony and Filmmakers Dinner is scheduled to take place at the luxurious Westin Monache Resort in beautiful Mammoth Lakes, California on Friday, February 26th, 2010.

Previously, the film has won an El Capitan award at the annual Yosemite International Film Festival in California. The 15-minute documentary records the exhausting musical road trip of the Qadim Sharq ('Ancient East') quartet across Montana in the Spring of 2007, with a special guest appearance by American mugham specialist Jeffery Werbock.

Mugham Comes To Montana previously won an Accolade Award at the La Jolla, California competition by the same name, and was shown at the annual Big Easy Film Festival in New Orleans.

The documentary was directed by Thomas Goltz and produced by the European Azerbaijan Society Chairman Tale Heydarov and edited by Katy Garton of the Sprout Group.
