The first international Eurasian
Film Market held in Almaty allowed Kazakh film industry representatives to
promote domestic film products to the regional market, present new projects,
talk about opportunities for filmmakers and, of course, establish business
contacts. The event brought together 250 producers, distributors as well as representatives
of streaming platforms and film companies from the CIS countries and Europe.
The new platform allowed the participants to get acquainted with Kazakh works,
including “Bauryna Salu” (Adoption) by Askhat Kuchinchirekov, the action movie “Berkut”
(Eagle) by Daniyar Ibragimov, “Rhinoceros” by Adilkhan Yerzhanov and the
musical “Soldier of Love” based on the songs of the A-Studio music band and
directed by Farkhat Sharipov. It should be noted that other Central Asian
studios also presented their multi-genre films. Overall, the program featured
more than 100 movies produced in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and
Tajikistan.
