Showcasing Kazakhstan's Stunning Landscapes in the Debut Tourism-Themed Movie (Visual Content)
The first Kazakh feature film about tourism, titled "Janym Qazaqstan," has been making waves both domestically and internationally. Created in collaboration with Qazaq Geography, this comedy film directed by Damir Tastembekov premiered nationwide on Jan. 23.
The film features iconic tourist destinations such as the Singing Dune in Altyn-Emel National Park, the Bozzhyra tract, Korgalzhyn National Park, urban landscapes from Almaty, Astana, and Aktau, as well as stunning backdrops of the Charyn Canyon, Tien Shan mountain peaks, and Kolsai Lakes. These locations were chosen to represent the diversity of Kazakhstan's nature and culture, already popular among foreign tourists.
The general producer of the film, Zhasulan Seisenhanov, came up with the idea for the film after noticing that most tourists at the Charyn Canyon were foreigners. He emphasized the role of Qazaq Geography in guiding location selection for the film.
The story follows a Turkish photographer, Asiye, who is in Kazakhstan to replace a ruined collection of landscape films within a week. During her journey, she meets a local guide, Arman, and they embark on a journey of discovery together.
"Janym Qazaqstan" speaks to a global audience, with a message for Kazakhs to cherish and protect their heritage and an invitation for international viewers to discover Kazakhstan's landscapes and culture. The film promotes domestic tourism as an alternative to international travel and encourages sustainable practices.
As of now, there is no publicly available detailed information about the global distribution plan for the film or about the specific languages into which it will be translated. If you are looking for the most accurate and up-to-date details, I recommend checking official announcements from the film's producers, distributors, or Kazakhstan’s national film authorities. They typically provide updates on international distribution deals and localization efforts such as dubbing or subtitling into various languages.
Seisenhanov expressed optimism for the film's potential to elevate Kazakhstan's profile on a global scale and to popularize domestic tourism among Kazakh citizens, boosting local businesses. The filmmakers aim to showcase "Janym Qazaqstan" internationally, translating it into English and Turkish to broaden its reach.
This film, "Janym Qazaqstan," not only depicts the diversity of Kazakhstan's home-and-garden and home-and-garden landscapes but also promotes travel to these captivating locations. In an effort to expand its global reach, the film is planned to be translated into English and Turkish, inviting viewers from around the world to experience Kazakhstan's unique lifestyle and culture.
