SUMMARY:Ümit
DESCRIPTION:Amina Umirzhanova (Savannah College of Art and Design)\n\nÜMIT
  is a 2D/3D animated short film created by students at the Savannah Colleg
 e of Art and Design (SCAD). Set in the 15th-century Kazakh Kingdom—present
 -day Kazakhstan—the story follows a young astronomer named Ümit, who is de
 termined to bring back the long-lost Sun to her village, which has been tr
 apped in darkness for centuries. As hope fades and life becomes increasing
 ly difficult, Ümit clings to hope and builds a device that could reunite h
 er people with the light.\n\nInspired by nomadic Central Asian cultures, t
 he Timurid Renaissance, Tengri music, and coming-of-age tales, ÜMIT is a h
 eartfelt tribute to resilience, astronomy, and cultural identity. Through 
 its story and setting, the film hopes to shed light on Central Asian narra
 tives—one among many cultures around the world often overlooked in global 
 media and animation.\n\nRegistration Category: Enhanced Access, Exhibit &
