"We immerse ourselves in the region and therefore understand the problems much better," Kazak actress Samal Yeslyamova said at the second Pingyao Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon International Film Festival held in Shanxi province in China from Oct 11 to 20.
She won the best actress award at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year.
Her film, Ayka, made its Chinese mainland debut at the Pingyao festival under its "best of fest" section that aims to showcase outstanding films from this year's major international film festivals for their Asia or China premieres.
