Three Kazakh films
have won international film awards. At the annual Asia Pacific Screen Awards
festival in Australia, Askhat Kuchinchirekov's debut film ‘Bauyryna Salu’ was
named the Best Youth Film. Aisultan Seitov's ‘Qash’ took the prize for the Best
Cinematography. Furthermore, the lead actors in the movie ‘Brothers’ - Aibar
Saly and Alisher Ismailov - were recognized as the Best New Performers. It
bears noting that all of these films had previously received recognition at
major film festivals multiple times. However, the APSA, also known as the Asian
Oscars, is one of the world’s leading awards designed to promote cultural
diversity in global cinema.
