The Finalists in the Beat of ‘Action’

Great Alfred Hitchcock used to say: “There are three things for shooting a good film: a script, a script and again a script!”. As if continuing the thought of the genius, the Movie Script Contest, which gives the opportunity to our compatriots, and not only to them, to internationally reveal their talent, has been held for the third year in the frame of the International Movie Festival.

In Kazakhstan such a serious contest is held with the support of the Akimat of Astana and the Alem Program of Saby Charitable Foundation.

Today, we know the names of the 10 best screenwriters (5 Kazakh and 5 international), which have the real chance to collaborate with Bazelevs production company of the well-known director Timur Bekmambetov and receive a significant prize in the amount of $10,000.

From July 1 to July 3, 2012, at the festival in Astana, the finalists will submit to approval to the educated audience their scripts of the action category.

Only one of these fortunate participants will become the winner.
