On September 11-13 of this year, the XI International Cultural Forum was held in St. Petersburg, Russian Federation. It was attended by leaders in the field of culture, leading international experts and world-famous cultural figures.
A number of relevant leaders also participated from the Republic of Uzbekistan: Head of the Executive Office of the Cinematography Agency Navruz Musyaev, Director of the National Center for the Development of Cinematography Furkat Usmanov, and Specialist of the International Relations Department of the National Center for the Development of Cinematography Sayyora Khudaiberdiyeva.
The forum presented the latest projects aimed at developing cultural relations between countries, and discussed topics related to the past and future role of cinema in the modern world, its impact on social processes, and the importance of integrating various cultural traditions.
Speaking on behalf of Uzbekistan, the Director of the National Center for the Development of Cinematography, Furkat Usmanov, said:
“Today, it is not a reason for the uniqueness of national culture, but a convenient opportunity for dialogue and mutual enrichment. “In the recent past, we were one big family, and now we have united in society. This is a good opportunity to introduce dialogue between cultures within the framework of the project and develop it in the digital space. We see that digital distribution is gaining significant momentum today, and perhaps it is worth considering a single streaming platform in the CIS countries. This is another way to expand market opportunities. The Asian space of the Commonwealth is not as rich in local films as we would like. We have learned to produce independent, Art-House films well, but we also need to develop commercial films, he noted.
