The first in this year meeting of the cinema club "Cinema as a historical source" was held at S. Toraighyrov PSU on the day before.

The club was created in 2014 at the department of  "History of Kazakhstan", and after a three-year break the club resumed its work.

According to the organizer of the club, senior lecturer of the Department of History of Kazakhstan Aslan Azarbayev films that reflect the socio-economic transformations of society, moral changes and worldview rethinking of reality are selected for the revision.

This time, film lovers discussed the film "Publication" (1988) directed by Viktor Volkov. The future historians, ecologists and biotechnologists expressed their point of view in the discussion.

The librarian of the sector of fiction Elena Likhanova shared interesting facts about the creation of the painting, noting that today in the period of global changes the negative features of society take a particularly tense form.

"Discussion of films in which social, mental "negativism" is reflected, helps to form positive qualities of a person, contributing to the prevention of morally negative manifestations", - she said.

The club has already planned a creative evening dedicated to the memory of the legendary Viktor Tsoi.
