Kazakh film «Bauryna Salu» submitted for Oscar nomination

The Kazakh film «Bauryna Salu» (Adoption) by Askhat Kuchinchirekov has been submitted for an Oscar nomination. The movie received the highest prize at the national Tulpar awards and was recommended to the Oscar Committee to represent the country in the International Feature Film category. It bears noting that bauryna salu is a Kazakh tradition where young parents give their firstborn child to older relatives for upbringing. The film tells a story of a boy raised by his grandmother. The movie's world premiere took place last autumn at a film festival in Spain. Additionally, in 2023, it won the Asia Pacific Screen Awards, also known as the Asian Oscars.
