Director's approaches in creating the screen life of historical figures (on the example of the film “Agartiw Qarligashi”)
Abstract
This article explores the theoretical and practical foundations of portraying historical and educational figures in documentary cinema, using the film "Agartiw Qarligashi" (2009) directed by Toreniyaz Kalimbetov as a primary case study. It analyzes the director's culture, the search for historical truth, the integration of archival materials, and the development of visual and compositional strategies. Furthermore, the paper highlights how the film immortalizes the legacy of Seyfulgabit Majitov—the creator of the Karakalpak alphabet—by bridging historical reality with high artistic and intellectual presentation.
