The Kyrgyz Republic has started working on the program «Shoot in Kyrgyzstan» — Cash Rebate for foreign filmmakers. Director of the State Film Center Kyrgyztasmasy Talantbek Tolobekov posted on social media.
«This long-awaited initiative aimed at attracting foreign investment and developing the domestic film industry will be a new stage in the history of Kyrgyz cinema,» he posted.
