Located halfway across the Silk Road, Uzbekistan holds Tashkent, the largest city in Central Asia, and other major cities such as Bukhara and Khiva where magnificent Islamic architecture can be seen. The country declared its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, and in the following year, Japan and Uzbekistan established diplomatic relations.

Since Uzbekistan was part of the Soviet Union, the Uzbek film industry grew largely under state management. In 1992, after the country's independence, a science fiction movie titled "U.F.O. Boy Abdulladzhan" made a big hit in Japan. Led by directors such as Zulfiqor Musakov and Yusuf Roziqov, Uzbek filmmakers are actively continuing filmmaking introducing its culture, history, and the current state of the country.

With the support of Forum of Culture and Arts of Uzbekistan Foundation, this film festival features 11 masterpieces that were made before and after the country's independence.
