Nevestka (English: Daughter-In-Law, Turkmen:Gelin) is a 1972 Turkmenistani film directed by Khodzha Kuli Narliyev, starring Maya-Gozel Aimedova, Aynabat Amanliyeva, and Baba Annanov. The film is about a woman who loses her husband during World War II and is forced to take care of her father-in-law in the desert.
Nevestka has been called "the film that put Turkmen film on the map". [1] Mira Liehm and Antonín J. Liehm note its "strong cinematic feeling for local settings". [2] Michael Rouland calls it a "representation of Turkmen life at the edge of the desert during World War Two", writing that it "engages a rich genre in Soviet film: the tragedy of lives left on the home front while loved ones sacrificed their lives on the battlefront. Bridging the vast territorial and cultural spaces of the Soviet Union, the sacrifice of war and its suffering was a common theme of Soviet film". [3]

Svetozar Botorić was a Serbian entrepreneur and film producer. He was the owner of Serbia's first movie theatre, the Paris Cinema, located inside the eponymous Hotel Paris, at Belgrade's Terazije Square, which opened in December 1908. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Botorić was convinced that film could be turned into a profitable endeavour. In 1909, he signed a contract with the French cinematographic firm Pathé, becoming their representative in Serbia and Bulgaria. In this capacity, he held exclusive Balkan premieres of Pathé's films in his hotel. Botorić also regularly produced newsreels about local events on Pathé's behalf, with the firm providing filming equipment and a cameraman, and Botorić giving them a share of his admission profits. In 1911, Botorić teamed up with the prominent stage actor Ilija Stanojević to establish the Union for the Production of Serbian Films.
