The organizers of the international conference entitled "The Cultural Contexts of Kazakhstan: History and Contemporaneity," held in Almaty between 7 and 10 September 1997, chose as the logo of their conference one of the stills from Rustam Khalfin's filmLazy Cinema(Lenivoe Kino). It was the still representing a handful of earth. The choice was far from whimsical, for, as the writer Auezkhan Kodar, one of the organizers of the conference noted, the intention was "to underline the amorphous state of contemporary culture which needs to acquire a precise shape, characteristic to Kazakhstan alone."
