Selector’s Statement

“Madina, directed by female director Aizhan Kassymbek from Kazakhstan, tells the story of a single mother who teaches dance during the day and works in a burlesque club at night. The film was shot in winter and such a color scheme was specially chosen (the cinematographer is also a woman, Aigul Nurbulatova) to convey Madina’s inner feeling: the coldness of society, anxiety, social insecurity, a feeling of loneliness. The film also delicately touches on the topic of sexual violence, after which a woman cannot return to normal life for a long time."
— Gulnara Abikeyeva (Kazakhstan), film scholar, President of the Association of Film Critics of Kazakhstan, AFAF24 Selection Committee member
