Film Days in Almaty 2025
Alternativa Film Days is an annual series of free public screenings featuring films from the Alternativa Film Festival, Labs, and our partners. These screenings bring impactful cinema into direct dialogue with local communities, activists, and changemakers in the regions where we operate. We believe the themes explored in our films resonate across cultures and borders. Each screening becomes a shared act of reflection and helps forge lasting connections that outlive the moment
