His film is built around a simple moral idea: a person’s actions are reflected in their appearance.
“If people do bad things, they become ugly. So, if you do something bad, you’re ugly. If you are good, you’re not ugly,” Shestak explained.
The filmmaker said he decided to enter the Astana AI Film Festival after coming across the competition and realizing that its format matched the kind of work he was already pursuing.
He also pointed to the scale of the festival’s prize fund, saying that a prize of this magnitude was unprecedented for an AI film competition.
“It’s the first time in history someone gives you one million dollars in an AI festival. So, I think I have a chance to win, and I win,” he said.
Earlier, QazinformNews Agency reported that Italian filmmaker Jacopo Reale won Best Direction at the Astana AI Film Festival 2026 for his thriller The Fracture.
