Bishkek, named after the mythical and legendary Kyrgyz hero who unified the various Kyrgyz tribes, is the capital of Kyrgyzstan, a mountainous Central Asian country of seven million inhabitants, plus a million Kyrgyz citizens working in the Russian Federation.
Kyrgyzstan borders Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and China. It is famous for Lake Issyk-Kul, an inland sea, horse riding, national parks and cinema. Director Tolomush Okeev is the leading figure of the Soviet period. For the post-Soviet period, since
Kyrgyzstan gained independence in 1992, Aktan Arym Kubat Abdykalykov, director who won the Silver Leopard at Locarno (Le Fils adoptif- Beshkempir), was twice selected at Cannes and has attended the Vesoul International Film Festival of Asian Cinemas several times, either as President of the International Jury or as guest of honor for a retrospective of his films.
Bishkek, named after the Soviet military commander Frunze during the Soviet period, has grown like a mushroom in 200 years.
