I want to learn how to shoot a nationally identical movie. To the phrase "Chechen cinema" became a sign of a unique quality. It is necessary to make so that the Chechen cinema has got its own peculiarity. But it should not be an archaic direct reflection of the traditions and culture of the Vainakhs. It is very important to consider not only the past history but also to use the modern language of art.
