“The negotiations regarding the Kazakh Film Week in Prague are underway. We would like to present the films about Kazakhstan’s history and modern pictures to the Czech audience. The list of the films has been compiled but not approved yet,” said the Ambassador.
According to him, Kazakhstani directors are aware of film festivals held in the Czech Republic and regularly attend them. This country makes a great contribution to the world cinematography.
