The President congratulated the participants of the "Masterpiece of the Silk Road" Tashkent International Film Festival

Dear participants of the film festival! Distinguished guests! Ladies and gentlemen! First of all, I would like to sincerely congratulate you, dear masters of film art, well-known cultural and artistic figures who visited our country from different countries of the world, on the opening of the 15th Tashkent International Film Festival "Masterpiece of the Silk Road". The Uzbek people have long been known for their ancient history, rich culture, love and attention to elegance and beauty, including the worthy appreciation of film art. The high-level films created by the mature representatives of the national and world cinematography make a great contribution to the good work of shaping the minds and thinking of people, especially young people, on the basis of the ideas of humanity, friendship and solidarity. Taking these factors into account, we decided to revive the Tashkent International Film Festival in 2021 under the new name "Masterpiece of the Silk Road" and hold it under the slogan "For Peace, Enlightenment and Development". we heard It is symbolic that the next conference of this festival, which has taken a deep place in the hearts of millions of viewers in the past short time, is being held at a time when the 115th anniversary of our national film art is being widely celebrated in our country. Most importantly, attention and interest in the Tashkent International Film Festival is increasing worldwide. About 300 talented filmmakers from more than 50 countries of the world and representatives of a number of international organizations are taking part in this year's film forum. In recent years, in New Uzbekistan, special importance has been paid to the development of cinematography, along with all directions, and its modern infrastructure and solid material and technical base are being created. The work carried out on the creation of necessary conditions for the effective work of the representatives of cinematography, the employees serving in the system, and the support of the non-state sector in the field are also giving positive results. I hope that the screenings of films, creative meetings and dialogues held within the framework of the 15th Tashkent International Film Festival, which is starting today, will give all the participants a lively creative mood and inspiration, and will inspire them to new plans. Also, the creative competition organized among modern filmmakers on the creation of short films will undoubtedly serve as a unique experience and skill school for them. During the festival, you will have the opportunity to get acquainted directly with the large-scale reforms being carried out in Uzbekistan not only in the field of cinematography, but also in all priority areas in order to ensure human value and interests, and to communicate closely with our artistic people. you don't know I welcome you, dear ones, once again with the solemn opening of the 15th Tashkent International Film Festival, and I believe that this conference will become a real holiday of art, a symbol of peace and friendship. Taking this opportunity, I wish you all good health, creative achievements, and success in the work of the film festival.
