Cinematography of «Children of Independence»
Within the period from 2010 – 2020 there were two changes that happened in Kazakhstani cinema: first is the activity of generation of «Children of Independence», filmmakers who are not afraid of censorship and can freely express societal most acute problems. Their films won prizes in the most prestigious world film festivals. Second change is appearance of other filmmakers who made a movie a product. We can speak about the birth of new film industry. Both of these aspects is a generational question, when young filmmakers stopped waiting for the government support and started to do films for festivals and for making money.
