Kazakh animation creators undergo training in Turkey and Poland

Kazakh animators are currently undergoing training in Turkey. During the practical masterclasses, cartoonists from the two countries are getting to know each other, exchanging experiences, and, most importantly, engaging in discussions about the creation of new joint projects.

Another group of Kazakh animators is gaining experience in Poland. In Krakow, domestic artists, along with students and representatives from animation studios, have the opportunity not only to view the works of Polish cartoonists but also to acquire skills in production and idea selection, as well as marketing and promoting finished works.

“The animation industry is rapidly changing and evolving. Therefore, it is very important to enhance the skills of domestic professionals in this field. Apart from exchanging experiences, this presents a great opportunity to explore new markets and attract new audiences through international collaborations. In the future, we have plans to invite renowned experts from foreign animation studios to Kazakhstan, further promoting expertise and experience sharing,” said Gani Muratov, spokesperson for the Kazakh Ministry of Culture and Sports.

It bears reminding that Kazakh studios have begun the creation of ten pilot animation projects based on ancient Turkic legends. Each film has a duration of more than five minutes. According to the Kazakh Ministry of Culture and Sports, the project aims not only to strengthen cooperation among Turkic-speaking states but also to foster future collaborations in creating joint animated works.
