We are delighted to invite you to a special screening of Rise of the Conqueror — a captivating historical film that brings to life the extraordinary civilizations of Central Asia.

This film offers a compelling window into a pivotal era of Central Asian history — one defined by powerful empires, visionary rulers, vibrant cultures, and the enduring legacies of great states and peoples. From the rise of mighty dynasties to the flourishing of art, scholarship, and governance across the region, the film captures the depth and richness of a civilization that shaped much of the medieval world yet remains underrepresented in mainstream historical discourse. And it touches on the remarkable linguistic heritage of the region — including Old Turkic, Chagatay, and the broader Turkic traditions that served as the cultural and intellectual backbone of Central Asian civilization for centuries.

We believe this screening will resonate with those interested in Central Asian and Eurasian history, Islamic civilization, the history of empires and governance, and the diverse cultural heritage of the region. We warmly welcome faculty, students, and researchers from all disciplines to join us for an evening of cinema and cultural dialogue.
