Oriented on making people closer

Two significant Turkmen films will be presented at the 21st Kazan International Film Festival "Altyn Minbar", which will be held from September 5 to 9 in the capital of Tatarstan. This event will be a clear indication of the growing international interest in the cinema of Turkmenistan and its cultural heritage.

The film festival "Altyn Minbar", held under the motto "Through the Dialogue of Cultures - to the Culture of Dialogue", is known for presenting films that carry the ideas of peacemaking, religious tolerance and humanism, as well as reflecting universal spiritual and moral values.

The Tree of Destiny" - an echo of war and the power of hope

This year, the festival will present a special non-competition program "Through the Prism of Memory", dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. It is within its framework that the Turkmen film "The Tree of Destiny" (2023) by film director Sahysalykh Bayramov will be shown on September 5.

This profound film drama tells the touching story of Nazik, whose husband volunteers to go to the front. Despite the fact that the tree he planted has dried up, Nazik, watering it, does not lose hope for the return of her beloved. Her faith and fortitude become a metaphor for the strength of the human spirit, capable of overcoming the most severe trials. The film is an important reminder of the price of Victory and the fortitude of those who waited for their heroes.

"Magtymguly Fragi" - the greatness of the poet in joint work

Another significant event will be the screening of the Turkmen-Uzbek film "Magtymguly Fragi" (produced in 2024) as part of the non-competition program "Russia-Islamic World". This film is dedicated to the life and work of the great Turkmen poet, philosopher and thinker, whose works have become part of the world cultural heritage. The joint work of filmmakers from the two countries emphasizes the cultural community and the desire to popularize outstanding personalities of the region.

The participation of these films in such a prestigious international festival not only promotes the exchange of experience between cultural and artistic figures, but also allows a wide audience to get acquainted with the rich history, deep traditions and unique color of Turkmenistan.
