Institute History
Description
Destined to become a classic of Kazakh cinema, Toro is the story of a boy who knuckles under to the pressure of his playmates and, at great peril, steals money from his cruel stepfather to bet on the boys’ soccer game. Owing a heavy debt to Italian neorealism, the film is splendidly acted by an almost all-child cast. Since Toro is edited for maximum tension, the hero’s salvation becomes a matter of split-second timing.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
