Yakutian films are beating out foreign movies at the local box office. Instead of relying on CGI, Yakutia offers real, natural landscapes. Even local horse herders, inspired by westerns, have trained their horses to perform intricate stunts. Tune in to our film 'Lights, Camera, Yakutia!' — to see the local legends of the silver screen.
