Today in Kinokultura: Review about dilogy 'Finding Mother'

When 'Finding Mother 2' premiered in Bishkek in February 2019 and the film crew stepped onto the stage, it consisted only of young people. The course of time is relentless, and high-grade film crews in Kyrgyzstan are already formed of the generation born in the late 1980s and early 1990s. There is practically only one older (episodic) role in the film, which is performed by the national actress of the Kyrgyz Republic, Djamilia Sydykbaeva. She plays a close relative of the new heroes, Murat and Aliya, brother and sister who were orphaned in their early childhood. If the bulk of the first film of the dilogy 'Finding Mother' was shot in California (US), then the majority of the second film is shot in the Turkish city of Antalya.

Today in VB: Column about 'Olma Djon'

OLMA DJON tells the journey of BOLOT, a father who, despite his efforts, doesn’t succeed in communicating with his 7 years old daughter OLMA, who refuses to speak, as a result of communication problems in their family. He is desperate when a Shaman Woman comes to help. Seduced by her gentle lullaby singing , he goes over the fence of his own yard. He finds himself in a snowy apple tree orchard, his secret garden, frozen for so many years. Following the singing shamanic voice, BOLOT crosses his own unconsciousness. He meets his ancestors who give him “Bata”, Kazakh benediction, and finally, his Mother who is waiting for him under the Apple Tree. She sings for him the lullaby of his childhood. This reconciliation gives him the capacity to communicate to his Daugher - Love.
