Film director Timur Bekmambetov determined to develop screen life genre in Kazakhstan
«We discussed the most interesting themes for myself, the President. What to do to make the creative industry develop in Kazakhstan, and that creative industry centers appear in each region. It’s interesting for me. I’m from Atyrau, which is a small city. I believe that even in the farthest corner of the country there are talented people, who need support, belief in themselves and pursue their dreams. I hope I and my company could do a lot to develop the so-called language screen life in Kazakhstan. It’s a new language of cinema, which is about our digital life. It is about how we manifest ourself, how we dream, suffer in the world of screens and interfaces,» said Bekmambetov.
As we spend most of our lives in front of computers and phones, therefore, the most acute and important events in our lives happen in the digital world, he added.
Today, Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev held a meeting with film director Timur Bekmambetov. The two discussed the prospects for development of Kazakh cinema, training of creative industry specialists, creation of conditions to increase domestic film content and support of cinematographers.
