Tashkent International Film Festival (Toshkent xalqaro kinofestivali) is an annual cinematographic festival held in the format of a "festival of festivals". It was founded in 1958 as an International Festival of Asian and African Countries. Since 1976, it has been an international festival of Asian, African, and Latin American countries. For these reasons, the film festival existed until 1988. After Uzbekistan gained independence, it was held only twice (1992 and 1997) under the name Tashkent International Film Festival. It was revived in 2021 under the name Tashkent International Film Festival "Pearl of the Silk Road". It is held in Tashkent in the second half of the year.
