The festival will feature a wide range of films from participating countries, which will can be seen at the "Ashgabat" cinema and the "Turkmenistan" and "Vatan" Cinema and Concert Centers. This is a great opportunity for film lovers to explore the works of talented directors and screenwriters, as well as to enjoy the diversity of cultures and creative approaches.

This event will undoubtedly contribute to the development of culture and the arts in Turkmenistan, drawing attention to cinema as a powerful tool for communication and self-expression.
