Join Kamilya Abilova and the undergraduate branch of OASIES (Organization for the Advancement of Studies of Inner Eurasian Societies) for this exciting movie screening!
Farewell Gulsary! (Proshchai, Gulsary!) by the Kazak director Ardak Amirkulov is a nostalgic film, both in tenor and mode. It is the second rendition of the eponymous short story by the famous Kyrgyz writer Chingiz Aitmatov about the love of Tanabai, a devout Kazakh communist and a WWII hero, for his beautiful stallion Gulsary, who is a symbol of freedom and idealism, everything the main character stands to lose to the crash collectivization in the Far East in the 1940s and 50s (Kinokul'tura).
