Almaty hosts the 17th
Eurasia International Film Festival, which is dedicated to the 110th
anniversary of Shaken Aimanov, the outstanding figure of Kazakh cinema, and the
90th anniversary of the creation of the Kazakhfilm studio. The event brought together participants from over 15 countries. The
festival will showcase 12 films reflecting the culture and outlook on life of
representatives of different countries, from Bangladesh and South Korea to
Austria and Qatar. Creative teams from Europe, Asia, and the Middle East have
demonstrated projects that combine universal themes with local contexts. The
festival includes two programs – an international competition and a competition
between Central Asian countries and the Turkic world. There will also be
non-competition screenings and film premieres, as well as master classes and
business platforms.
«This year’s program is extensive, featuring various
locations and films from multiple genres and an exciting selection of Kazakh
cinema. As the festival makes a comeback after a hiatus, we are committed to
reviving and restoring its former glory,» said Diana Ashimova, program director
of the 17th Eurasia International Film Festival.
