We are excited to present Michele Placido as a guest of the III Bishkek International Film Festival, taking place from June 11 to 15!

The legendary actor and director will be a special guest at the festival. His name is familiar to anyone who followed the series La Piovra (The Octopus) in the 80s and 90s. The character of Commissar Cattani became a cult symbol of the fight against evil and injustice, especially in Kyrgyzstan.

But Placido is not just La Piovra. He is one of the greatest masters of European cinema, with dozens of acclaimed roles and films that have earned recognition at international festivals.
