Beshkempir
Official submission of Kyrgyzstan for the 'Best Foreign Language Film' category of the 71st Academy Awards in 1999.,Referenced in Man yan (2004),Not only is this film visually beautiful, shot in black and white with occasional scenes in color depicting the rural village where the film is set and its ancient rituals and traditions, but Abdykalykov also succeeds in telling us the story of Beshkempir, a boy who discovers his adoption, and the transition he makes from a child to a young adult. Strongly recommended.,
