President of RK visited “Kazakhfilm” studio

Almaty, November 24, 2009 (Khabar) - “Kazakhfilm” is the main film studio of the country and is actively reviving national cinema. Only this year, the studio has started the production of 10 new films. Most of them were already screened. Nursultan Nazarbayev, President of Kazakhstan has visited Shaken Aimanov film studio. “Kazakhfilm” also launched the implementation of the largest project of technical modernization and the head of state has already seen some results. For example, the president was shown new studio lamps and modern cameras. The sound studio is the inner sanctum of “Kazakhfilm” and works according to the principle of a “box in a box”. The hall has variable acoustics which help the director implement different creative ideas. Currently the studio is being used for the commissioning of video tape editing suites, computer graphics rooms and a studio of video tracks recording in the Dolby system. The studio has a producer’s centre and a centre of film project development. “Kazakhsfilm” is the most well-equipped film studio in Central Asia.

We have constructed a great studio and wanted to show it to the head of state.
