Dinara Asanova made films about people who don't always know how to listen. About teenagers, adults, families, teachers, parents — about everyone who tries to talk to each other, but often cannot find a common language.

In her films, there is no simple division between the right and the guilty. Asanova looks carefully at everyone: those who hurt, and those who are hurt; those who demand love, and those who do not know how to give it. She is not interested in the conflict itself, but in the person inside it — lively, stubborn, confused, and not always comfortable.

Her movie seems quiet, but there is always an inner tension in it. Behind ordinary conversations, school corridors, family scenes and everyday life, something gradually emerges that is difficult to say directly: loneliness, fatigue, fear, the need for tenderness and the right to be yourself.

This retrospective is an opportunity to see Dinara Asanova's films as an honest and very human conversation about growing up, love, pain and the impossibility of living in untruth.
