The nationwide film lecture series From Chronicle to
the Future of the Kazakh President’s TV and Radio Complex has now arrived in Kokshetau.
Over two days, residents will be presented with four documentaries exploring
the history, nature, and modern-day Kazakhstan. The programme opened with The
Tiger: From Taiga to Steppe, a documentary about the return of the Turan
tiger. It was followed by Travel Kazakhstan, which showcases the
country’s natural wealth. Also scheduled for screening are The Man from
Kulaly Island and ARAL. Viewers will have an opportunity to meet the
filmmakers and ask them questions. The film lecture series has already reached
around 20 cities across the country. The project will continue until September,
with Almaty as its next venue.
«I am deeply grateful to the creative team behind these documentaries. It turned out incredibly well. They managed to show that the tigers were brought here, which is also very fascinating. I think this is very important, and this initiative should be carried forward and further developed,» shared Nurgul Nurmysheva, a resident of Kokshetau.
«As we know, the last Turan tiger disappeared from
Kazakhstan in 1948. Now, four Amur tigers brought from Russia’s Khabarovsk
region are expected to be released into the Ile-Balkhash region, the historic
habitat of these predators. We hope they will become the foundation of a future
population. Most importantly, after 78 years, tigers could once again roam the
land of Kazakhstan. I believe this is not only an important conservation
project for us, but also a source of great pride,» said Madina Mubarak, a resident of Kokshetau.
