Chopra honored for outstanding achievement in films
A Kazakh comedy about a family coping with the harsh life of sheep and goat herding on a barren landscape took top honors at the second annual Asia-Pacific Screen Awards on November 11.
The film ‘Tulpan', the first feature film by Kazakh documentary-maker Sergey Dvortsevoy, is set in southern Kazakhstan and tells of a young nomad who returns from military service to a family yurt and tries to win the heart of his neighbor, Tulpan.
The film, which won several awards including the top prize in the Un Certain Regard sidebar at the Cannes Film Festival, beat Hong Kong's ‘Men Jeuk' (Sparrow), Turkish film ‘Uc Maymun' (Three Monkeys), ‘Om Shanti Om' from India, and China's ‘The Red Awn' for top prize.
Yash Chopra, founder of Yashraj Films and a major player in the Indian film industry, was awarded the International Federation of Film Producers Associations (FIAPF) Award for outstanding achievement in film in the Asia Pacific region.
