Kazakh film to be screened at international film festival in Spain

The Kazakh film entitled ‘Bauryna salu’ was selected for the competition at the 71st edition of the San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain. The movie by debut director Askhat Kuchinchirekov tells the story of a boy raised by his grandmother. After her passing, he has to return to his parents, whom he barely knows, in a new environment. Work on the film, which was shot in the Almaty region, lasted three years. It should be noted that the San Sebastian festival, one of the oldest ones, will be held from 22 to 30 September. It is the most important competition in the Spanish-speaking world and the fourth major one in Europe after Cannes, Berlin and Venice film festivals.
