Residents of the North Kazakhstan Region had the opportunity to watch four
documentary films as part of the From Chronicle to the Future film lecture
series, dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the Kazakh President’s TV and
Radio Complex. The opening day featured screenings of The Man from Kulaly
Island and Aport. The Man from Kulaly Island tells the story of Pyotr Lupenko,
who spent many years managing a hydrometeorological station on one of the
islands in the Caspian Sea. The screenings drew strong public interest. The
nationwide film lecture series is taking place in 20 cities across Kazakhstan.
The project kicked off in Astana in May and will conclude in Almaty in
September.
«The
fact that someone lived alone on an island for 30 years speaks volumes about
his dedication to his work and profession. According to Pyotr Lupenko, the
islands in the Caspian Sea no longer experience the winters they once did. He
said the sea used to freeze over, but that no longer happens. It is yet another
indication of climate change, the effects of which are also being felt in our
region,» said Zhanat Mukhamedzhanov, a Petropavl
resident.
