Today in Kinokultura: Review about "2000 Songs of Farida"

 

Country: Uzbekistan

Year of production: 2020

Director: Yolqin Tu'ychiev

World premiere: Busan, October 2020

Awards: Grand-Prix at the IFF Moscow Premiere (October 2020); Snow Leopard Audience Award at the Asian World Film Festival (March 2021. Los Angeles)

 

This film is important in the art of Uzbekistan in 2020, because it represents a breakthrough in the history of Uzbek cinema. Festivals audience found this film, in short, worthy of its “artistic rendition of the theme of the collapse of old orders and the arrival of a new world”.
