Uzbekistan, Crossroads of Cultures is a travel documentary presented by Nicolas Pernot at Théâtre Desjardins in Montreal. The screening takes place on 24 February 2027 at 19:00, and it offers an evening spent travelling through a Central Asian country that once sat at the heart of the Silk Road.
What the film covers
The documentary follows Uzbekistan from the historic city of Samarkand to its deserts, oases and horsemen. Samarkand, with its blue domes and great squares, is presented as the country's symbol, and the film gives it a central place in the journey.
People and craft
- Encounters with artisans who keep age-old crafts alive
- A look at the country's landscapes, from desert to oasis
- Scenes featuring horsemen, bringing together past and present
The programme explores Uzbekistan as a meeting point of cultures, which is the theme of its title. For a visitor interested in travel, history or the people behind traditional skills, it makes a clear and focused evening.
Practical notes
The event is held at Théâtre Desjardins, so it suits anyone already in Montreal or planning a visit to the city in late winter. Full details, including ticketing, are on the theatre's programme page for the event.
