Kazakhstan and Turkey are set to strengthen cooperation in the film industry. They plan to make several historical series. This became known at the Korkut Ata Turkic World Film Festival that is taking place in Istanbul these days. It was organized for the first time.
Several movies of Kazakhstan were nominated for the award. In particular, the historical film “Kazakh Khanate. The Golden Throne” by Rustem Abdrashev will compete for the main prize in the nomination “feature film”.
“This is the second film entitled “Altyn Tak”. Its festival success is just starting. I believe that this festival should have a good perspective in the future and I think that we should support our films and show them. If we don’t do this ourselves, then who will?” shared film director Rustem Abdrashev.
