A total of 16 feature films and 20 short films will be submitted to the jury for consideration.
According to the organizers, the previous film festival in Dushanbe generated considerable interest not only among industry professionals but also among young talents who expressed a desire to pursue a career in cinema.
It is noted that 15 students from Tajikistan have been selected to study at the VGIK acting workshop under a Russian government quota.
Additionally, on October 17, an open creative meeting was held in Dushanbe with actors Dmitry Astrakhan and Farkhad Makhmudov, and cinematographer Yuri Lyubshin, where issues of acting, film production, and the exchange of experience between Tajik and Russian specialists were discussed.
