Kenji's list from Mubi

"Сәлем!, Қош келдіңіз!

Welcome to a vast land of over a million square miles, larger than Western Europe, the 9th largest country in the world, yet a land steeped in mystery to many. Independent from the Soviet Union since 1991, it is a land of taiga, canyons, towering snow-capped mountains, steppes and desert, bordering Russia to the North, the Caspian sea in the South West, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan in the South to China in the East and close to Mongolia in the North East. A land rich in oil and mineral resources, traditionally of nomadic lifestyle. A land of bears, Caspian Sea wolves, camels, saiga, great bustards, beluga sturgeon, lynx, cheetah, snow leopard, storks and a range of interesting wildlife. The national drink is fermented mare’s milk. In 1997 the capital was relocated from Almaty (formerly Alma-Ata), Kazakhstan’s largest city, to Astana, the world’s 2nd coldest capital in winter apparently, being developed with grand modern architecture.

The Chechnya-set film Prisoner of the Mountains was a Russian-Kazakh production. I’ve included the short Danish-Russian film Berik, set and filmed in Kazakhstan. The comedy Borat (in)famously used Kazakhstan as a suitably little known nationality to enable its eponymous character to explore foibles and attitudes in the USA, rather than critique Kazakhstan.

The films below are in year order."


#31 is featured for its short "About Love" by Darezhan Omirbaev

Missing from imdb:
#64 Doch' Chingiskhana [Daughter of Genghis Khan] (2018 Ilkham Jalilov)
