Amendments have been developed and submitted to Parliament for consideration to simplify strict requirements for selecting foreign films for dubbing into the Kazakh language. The Ministry plans to continue working to increase the share of films in the state language. Currently, amendments to the law “On Cinematography” concerning state support for “Kazakhfilm” are also being considered in the Senate.
