At the 30th Busan International Film Festival, the Kyrgyz-language film "Kurak" was honoured with the Bangladesh July Memorial Prize.
The film, "Kok Kok Kookkook", is directed by young filmmaker Maharshi Tuhin Kashyap. But what sets it apart is the presence of Bangladeshi producer SM Nazmul Haque, who helped transform what began as a student project into a full-length feature.
