We are incredibly grateful to share that our film created within the World Bank’s CAWEP program received the Audience Choice Award at ETHOS Film Awards 2026.

First of all, thank you all for your support.

What makes this especially meaningful for us is not only the award itself, but the fact that the film truly connected with people.

This project was born far away from red carpets and screening halls - in real locations, under the open sky, through long nights of filming water, nature, and the invisible connection between countries and people.

And today, this story from Central Asia was heard.

Thank you to the entire ETHOS team for creating a festival that still believes in honest cinema, human emotion, and meaningful storytelling.

Special thanks to Anabelle and everyone who supported our work, our film, and independent filmmakers from around the world.

We are honored to have been part of ETHOS Film Awards 2026 and truly hope this is only the beginning of a longer shared journey.

Мы приняли участие в RES 2026 в Астане, где наш проект, созданный в рамках программы CAWEP, был отмечен как победитель регионального конкурса среди контент-мейкеров Центральной Азии.

Для нас это очень важное признание.

Особенно ценно получить его в рамках международной инициативы Всемирного банка совместно с Европейским союзом, Швейцарской конфедерацией и UK International Development.

Спасибо организаторам RES 2026 за приглашение и пространство, где поднимаются действительно важные для региона темы - вода, экология, устойчивое развитие и сотрудничество между странами Центральной Азии.

И отдельное спасибо программе CAWEP за поддержку проектов, которые пытаются говорить о сложных вещах через живой визуальный язык.

Рады быть частью этого движения.

The SAN'ATCORE team was honored at RES 2026 as a winner of the regional CAWEP competition among content creators from Central Asia.

We received this award within the framework of the World Bank program, together with the European Union, the Swiss Confederation, and UK International Development.

This is one of those moments when it feels especially good to come home.
Because behind news like this there is never just a beautiful result — there is a journey:
— filming under the open sky
— working in field conditions
— chasing living, authentic shots
— trying to speak through cinema about water, nature, and the connection between countries

And what makes it especially meaningful is that this work was recognized at a regional level among creators from Central Asia.

For us, it is a reminder that stories born here can be heard.
Thank you to the organizers of RES 2026.
Thank you to the partners of the CAWEP program.
Thank you to everyone who was part of this journey.

And yes — after the ceremony, we gave an interview to Euronews.

Feels like this is only the beginning.

Today our project opened the screening program of ETHOS Film Awards 2026 in Santa Monica.

When we were making this film, we slept under the open sky, chased living shots of water, and spent 4 nights in the field so this story could be seen.

And today this project is being shown on the big screen at ETHOS Film Awards, alongside filmmakers from around the world.

The film was created within the World Bank’s CAWEP program, with the support of the European Union, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

We spent 4 nights filming water.
No set. No comfort. No control.
Just a river that has been flowing through Central Asia for thousands of years.

This project was created for the World Bank’s CAWEP program — a regional initiative focused on water and energy security in a changing climate.
But our task wasn’t to explain the program.
It was to make people feel it.

Instead of building a controlled production, we chose immersion:
— sleeping under the open sky
— working with natural light only
— waiting for real moments instead of staging them
Because when you deal with something as fundamental as water, you don’t direct it — you observe it.

This is how we approach complex topics:
Not as information. As experience.
Not as messaging. As perception.

At San’at Core, we work with:
— international organizations
— social and environmental initiatives
— brands with meaning

We help turn complex ideas into visual stories that people:
— understand
— feel
— remember
