Film Events in Lent Term

CU Kazakh Society aims to bring forward the very good things about Kazakhstan. This time we wanted to show you some films produced in Kazakhstan. We thought hard on which films to show. Be sure to come to our film events and catch pleasure from every second of the masterpieces made by Kazakhstani film-makers. They are quite unique. Deep and meaningful, usually.

During Lent Term we aim to show these movies:

  • Tulpan
  • Kelin

All of the films are either dubbed in English or shown with subtitles.

Watch out the news-feed and the mailing lists for announcements.
