OBS_VALUE: Production of highly artistic works of national films that can satisfy the spiritual needs of the people, serve the public interest, the country's image on the world stage could be subsidised or benefit from tax reliefs. In order to obtain the qualification of national film, the movie must fulfil a certain number of conditions amongst which : at least seventy percent of the total amount of work on the film is carried out by cinematographic organizations registered in the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan; the film is produced by a citizen (or legal entity) of the Republic of Kazakhstan; the film crew (directors, cameramen, sound engineers, costume artists, film editors, actors who play the main roles) is composed of no more than fifty percent of persons who are not citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan. As from 2019, a subsidy could also be provided to a foreign legal entity, which undertakes to invest at least 130 000-fold MCI (the Monthly calculation index periodically set by the Law on the republican budget) to a film (or its part, episode) produced in the Republic of Kazakhstan. However, such foreign films would not be eligible to benefit from national film financing if they do not comply with the above criteria. Additionally, prior to 2019, foreign investment in film production couldn't exceed thirty percent of the estimated cost of the film.
