«We started with the countries that are historically and territorially close to us. Everyone loves and remembers Kazakh films since the USSR times. Kazakhstan’s cinematography has been developing very actively in recent years. We see that the films by Kazakh directors receive awards at many international festivals. We see what a success it is and, of course, we are happy to acquaint our viewers with such successful works,» Acting Director General of Roskino Yekaterina Naumova says.

According to organizers, the audience enjoyed the brightest works of Kazakh film directors – dramas, historical films and comedies – awarded at the international film festivals in the last decade.
