Cinematic life in Bishkek has become noticeably more lively. It’s difficult to keep track of the number of films being released. Enterprising people have discovered a new way to make money: “cinematic fast-food”. The movie theater of the State Historical Museum, which has become the main venue for undemanding viewers, is constantly sold out. On the other hand, it is good to see the amateur productions being overshadowed by professionally made domestic and foreign films that are given gala premieres in the elite movie theaters of the capital. And it is good that the owners of large cinemas are making their theaters available for the best of world and Kyrgyz cinema during the festival period. Festivals give us a unique opportunity to watch, discuss, and evaluate a large number of new, quality films.
