LECTURE: ALEXEY ULKO DEVELOPMENT OF EXPERIMENTAL CINEMATOGRAPHY IN CENTRAL ASIA

YARAT Contemporary Art Space kindly invited to the open lecture by Alexey Ulko, experimental filmmaker, writer and curator.

The lecture Development of Experimental Cinematography in Central Asia will focus on topics and trends, rather than specific countries, and will highlight key names in cinematography, such as Sasha Ugai, Umida Akhmedova, Alexei Rumyantsev, Ulan Dzhaparov, Zoya Falkova.

We will also study the intersection of feminist and environmental themes in the works of Almagul Menlibayeva and Saodat Ismailova.

We'll also explore how Instagram Stories and TikTok killed experimental cinema and video art.
