Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- A number of foreign film companies and TV channels, in partnership with Uzbekkino and NAESMI, create documentaries and stories about Uzbekistan.

Several film crews of Russian film companies and TV channels came to Uzbekistan to shoot beautiful and distinctive ceremonies associated with the celebration of Navruz, as well as to prepare documentaries about New Uzbekistan. Filming these days takes place in different regions of Uzbekistan.

The film crew of the Russia-1 TV channel has already visited Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara in search of locations and speakers. “Bright, sunny and incredibly welcoming Uzbekistan wins the heart from the first seconds. In every city and village we are greeted as the most dear guests. From the heart, from the heart! Because I just can’t do it any other way. Here it is a religion, a way of life. We will try to show Uzbekistan just like that - open, hospitable and renewed, but true to centuries-old traditions,” noted Olga Armyakova, a correspondent of the Russia-1 TV channel. The plot was shown on the Vesti Nedeli program with Dmitry Kiselyov yesterday on the Russia-1 TV channel.

“It should be noted that projects with Russian partners are being implemented in accordance with the agreements and memorandums concluded at the 4th International Congress of the World Society between the Uzbekkino NA and Russian filmmakers. In addition to Russian film and TV companies, we have established good partnerships with Euronews, BBC, CNBC and others. Currently, the agency is at the stage of signing joint projects with a number of leading foreign TV channels and film companies,” said Firdavs Abdukhalikov, director general of Uzbekkino.

The film crew of the "Masterskaya" film company went straight to Boysun to shoot an authentic story about the celebration of Navruz. This is not the first film about Uzbekistan by Saida Medvedeva, the head of the film group. Several years ago, the TV channel "Russia-2" successfully showed the film "Uzbekistan - the pearl of the sands", "Karakalpakstan. Through the Sands of Time” and others, created jointly with NAESMI. Then the film crew unraveled the centuries-old secrets of the national “shoi” fabric, the durability of the famous Samarkand paper, the unsurpassed taste of pilaf and the aroma of Uzbek flat cakes. Today, a new picture is being developed - a documentary film “Uzbekistan. Recent history ". The film is dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the republic’s independence. “We all know that the history of Uzbekistan is great, but at the same time it is dramatic and complex, so we are interested in how the state is developing today, what economic and social reforms are being carried out in the country,” said Saida Medvedeva.

The Divi film company for the Russia-Kultura TV channel flew to the shooting of four documentaries about the traditions, culture and history of Uzbekistan under the titles "Messages from the depths of centuries", "Warmth and generosity of dastarkhan", "Plexus of solar cultures", "A place in the sun ". “To argue about whether Uzbekistan is cinematic or not is coquetry. Because, of course, these are fantastic historical and cultural landscapes, this is architecture. And the play of light and sun in this wonderful land is the dream of any cinematographer,” said director Elena Kozhevnikova, also known for her work on the films “Uzbekistan, Legends of Love” and “Uzbekistan. Revelations Found."

And, finally, the film crew of the DokuMentalist film company, consisting of director Nikita Snegov and cameraman Nikita Rozov, will begin work on the documentary “Uzbekistan. Past. The present. Future”, produced by Valdis Pelsh. “We, starting from the great past of your country, will try to look into the future of Uzbekistan, 30-40 years ahead, when the discoveries made by mankind will lead to amazing, very beautiful changes in life, architecture, medicine and all areas of life”, said Valdis Pelsh.
