A large-scale historical and heroic epic directed by Akan Satayev, "The Dawn of the Great Steppe," was screened at Mamaya Square.

Despite the geographical distance between our countries, Astana and Bucharest have established fruitful and multifaceted relations.

At the same time, Honorary Consul Corina Martin, in her welcoming speech, emphasized that hosting such events undoubtedly contributes to strengthening friendship and further deepening bilateral relations in the cultural and humanitarian spheres.

It should be noted that since 2017 the Days of Kazakhstani Cinema have been held annually in Constanta and Cluj-Napoca.
