Shevkat Mirziyov: National films do not meet the demands of the viewer. The President of Uzbekistan, in a meeting with filmmakers, noted that people continue to watch foreign films in cinemas. "The viewers did not abandon the cinema, they simply changed their preferences and demands. Do our films meet these requirements? Unfortunately, no," stated Mirziyov's oath. He stated the reason why a unified distribution system from the production of films to their presentation to viewers was not created.
