Seven films will be shown between October 25 and 31 under the organization of the Turkish Embassy Cultural Counsellor's Office in Tashkent. Cultural Counsellor Ali Elgin said that "Selvi Boylum Al Yazmalim", a film of Turkan Soray, who was chosen as the best actress in 1978 Tashkent Film Festival, would also be on the screen during the week. "Dar Alanda Kisa Paslasmalar", "Agir Roman", "Gule Gule", "Ah Guzel Istanbul", "Durusma" and "Karisik Pizza" will also be shown during the week.
