On December 12th, the Ashgabat cinema will host the grand opening of the Russian Film and Animation Week.
Within five days, Ashgabat residents and guests of the Turkmen capital will be presented with a number of Russian-made films, including new and the best animated films.
Children and teenagers will certainly enjoy the cartoon («Конь Юлий и большие скачки») "Horse Julius and the Great Races", which tells about a heroic horse named Julius, who falls in love with a beautiful horse - the Star of the East, which belongs to the Sultan.
Also for the children's audience there will be a screening of the film in the fantasy genre («Конёк-Горбунок») "The Little Humpbacked Horse". The plot of the famous fairy tale is rethought and filmed using modern technologies and computer graphics.
