In December 2013, Aigine Cultural Research Center within the framework of its project on\u00a0Placing the Manas epic into the Contemporary World\u00a0<\/em>published video version of the \u00a0Seitek\u00a0<\/em>epic, the\u00a0third part of the trilogy<\/span>. Thus, Aigine CRC completed compilation of the full video version of the entire epic trilogy. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The goal\u00a0of the project\u00a0is to compile full video recording and form complete traditional version of the\u00a0<\/span>Manas\u00a0<\/em>epic narrated by contemporary\u00a0<\/span>manaschys\u00a0<\/em>( epic reciters).<\/span><\/p>\n

The video version\u00a0consists of\u00a035 key episodes\u00a0<\/strong>that make up the core of the\u00a0Seitek\u00a0<\/em>epic – Seitek is Semetei’s son and gradnson of Manas. The list of episodes was composed\u00a0and approved\u00a0by\u00a0manaschys<\/em>\u00a0themselves. Narration starts from Aichurok’s (Seitek’s mother) being taken hostage and ends in Seitek’s death.<\/p>\n

It is a 16 hour-long epic chanting recorded on two-layered DVD discs. The discs are accompanied by a broschure consisting of each manaschy\u2019s story related to reciting the\u00a0Semetei\u00a0<\/em>epic.\u00a012 currently active and recognized\u00a0<\/strong>manaschys<\/strong><\/em>participated in the video recording and each\u00a0<\/span>manaschy\u00a0<\/em>recited several episodes of their choosing.<\/span><\/p>\n

This video compilation was formed at the initiative of the Aigine CRC with financial support of The Christensen Fund. The process of video compilation lasted for three years and was completed in the winter of 2013.<\/p>\n

In April 2014, Aigine CRC team together with\u00a0manaschys\u00a0<\/em>and throat signers from Mountain Shoria and Republic of Altai toured throughout the country with series of disc presentations. During the presentations, Aigine CRC team distributed video verison of the epic trilogy among high schools and universitities of the country.<\/p>\n
