Jamila (1969) is the most famous film adaptation of Chingiz Aytmatov’s novel of the same name. The love story between Jamila and the injured ex-soldier Daniyar has become not only world literature, but also a classic of Central Asian cinema.“Central Asian Cinema” is a series of collaborative articles written by different members of the Novastan team to share their favourite cinematographic moments about Central Asia.
Each article describes a film produced or shot in Central Asia, available online. Called by French writer Louis Aragon the “world’s most beautiful love story,”Jamila is probably the best-known work of Central Asian literature.
