DUSHANBE, October 16, 2014, Asia-Plus – The Sixth Tajikistan International Festival, Didor 2014, kicked off in Dushanbe today.

Movies from Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iran, Kazakhstan, Russia and Uzbekistan will be shown during the festival runs through October 20.

Tajikistan will be represented by three full-length films at the festival, “Kamil” by Safarbek Soleh, “Muallim” (The Teacher) by Nosir Saidov and “Bud Nabud” (Once Upon a Time There Lived…) by B. Qahhorov.

The First Tajikistan International Film Festival, Didor, was held in October 2004 and the upcoming festival’s program furthers the concept of the first Didor festival, which was intended to be a cultural bridge between eastern and western cultures and remove any critical attitudes of the West to the East and vice versa.
