The Eurasia International Film Festival, established in 1998, is the major film forum in Central Asia accredited by the International Federation of Film Producers Associations (FIAPF). The Festival’s main goals are to support the film industry in Qazaqstan and the whole region, to develop an international collaboration, cultural exchange and film industry relationships between the filmmakers of Europe and Asia by building the platform for successful cooperation between Asia and Europe.
 
OLMA DJON tells the journey of BOLOT, a father who, despite his efforts, doesn’t succeed in communicating with his 7 years old daughter OLMA, who refuses to speak, as a result of communication problems in their family. He is desperate when a Shaman Woman comes to help. Seduced by her gentle lullaby singing , he goes over the fence of his own yard. He finds himself in a snowy apple tree orchard, his secret garden, frozen for so many years. Following the singing shamanic voice, BOLOT crosses his own unconsciousness. He meets his ancestors who give him “Bata”, Kazakh benediction, and finally, his Mother who is waiting for him under the Apple Tree. She sings for him the lullaby of his childhood. This reconciliation gives him the capacity to communicate to his Daugher - Love.
