"Men Müñdamyn" is a short film centered around one of Almaty's most iconic architectural landmarks — Hotel Kazakhstan. Completed in 1977, this 102-meter-tall tower became a powerful symbol of modernity in the Kazakh SSR and remains a striking feature of the city’s skyline.
It was the first skyscraper built in a seismic zone in the Soviet Union, a groundbreaking achievement in structural engineering at the time. The building was designed by a visionary team of architects — Lev Ukhobotov, Yuri Ratushny, Anatoly Anchugov, and Vladislav Kashtanov — in collaboration with structural engineers Arkady Deer and Nikolai Matviets, and engineer Abdysagit Tatygulov. Artists Moldakhmet Kenbaev and Nikolai Tsivchinsky contributed to the building’s interior and aesthetic identity.
This film reflects on the emotional and symbolic weight of architecture. Through a carefully crafted visual language, it contemplates the passage of time and the quiet endurance of the built environment. The narration guides the viewer through layers of memory, space, and transformation — where the boundary between past and present slowly dissolves.
Some buildings are more than structures — they are silent witnesses.
