Azamat Satybaldy has explained why he stepped down from the post of the President of Kazakhfilm JSC, Kazinform News Agency correspondent reports.
Yes, it's true. I'm in China right now, and I was invited to join a project. Participating in it will take some time. That's why I made a decision to leave Kazakhfilm. At this time, I can’t talk about the project in China, since the project is kept under wraps. I will release an official statement in the coming days," Satybaldy said.
He insisted that the dispute over ‘Altyn adam’ animators’ debt payment did not affect his decision to leave his post at Kazakhfilm JSC.
This dispute has nothing to do with me stepping down from the post. I am leaving my post voluntarily," Azamat Satybaldy clarified.
Earlier it was reported that the animators of the ‘Altyn adam’ animated film had gone on a protest in front of Kazakhfilm’s building, claiming that they have not received money for their work for seven months. Later Kazakhfilm revealed that it had paid off its debt to the animators.
It bears to remind that Azamat Satybaldy was appointed President of the company in 28 July 2023.
