A film by Kazakh director Farhat Sharipov won the Grand Prix at the Berlin International Film Festival. A film "Scheme" was presented in the Generation program. This is the second part of the trilogy of the sensational film "18 kilohertz". The plot of the film tells about the life of modern teenagers who have lost their way in life. Newcomers played the main roles in it. This year, Kazakhstan presented two more films at the Berlinale - "Akyn" and "Bakyt".
“The script itself was very difficult, because we reworked the film as the filming progressed. We added, rewrote, and it so happened that we were filming during constant COVID restrictions. This caused a lot of problems. We shot the film for one year. The script was indeed very complex in the sense that these things actually happen,” said Farkhat Sharipov, a filmmaker.
