“There are several categories of expectations from participants. First of all, I want to look at the level of technical professionalism: the work of the operator, artist, Director and actors. The second, of course, is the creative component, which story will be told in the picture. At Baiqonyr films from different cities and schools are presented, so I am interested to find out what interests young people, what worries them,” said the Jury Chairman, Akhat Ibrayev, about his expectations.
