Last week, two of our students achieved remarkable success at the Umut Film Forum.听

Our 2024 alumna Masuma Mahamadalieva and her thesis film听"Soulslayer"听received the听Jury Special Prize听in the International Competition. Meanwhile, our senior student Jetigen Kyrmanchiev earned听second place in the Pitching Competition听(Fiction Film section),听winning 200,000 som听for the post-production of his upcoming film听"Sadaga Ketein"

Reflecting on their experience, here鈥檚 what Masuma and Jetigen had to share:

"That was really awesome. There were worthy and strong competitors at the forum, which made me doubt my own victory. But I鈥檓 grateful to the forum and its participants for giving hope to the future of our cinema. Thank you to the organizing team and to Gulbara eje." 听
- Jetigen

"I attended the 鈥淯mut鈥� forum in Bishkek 鈥� it was amazing! So many talented people, interesting ideas, and just a warm atmosphere overall. We watched great short films, had lots of conversations, and inspired each other. And yes 鈥� I got my first win! I still can鈥檛 believe it, but I鈥檓 incredibly happy. I hope this is just the beginning." 听
- Masuma

We warmly congratulate our students and look forward to celebrating many more joyful milestones together!
