The Giraffes of Astana
Working Title — In Development
Logline
In 1998, as Astana emerges as a new capital, a lonely child fills the silence with family rituals and a vivid imagination, waiting for the city to wake up.
Director’s Note
Born in Almaty and raised in Astana during its rapid transformation, I remember the city less through events than through atmosphere: vast spaces, silence, and the feeling of waiting for something to take shape.
Through a minimal and contemplative approach, the film explores childhood loneliness, routine, and the tension between an empty outer world and a vivid inner imagination.
