Film director. Honored Worker of Culture of the Kirghiz SSR (1976). Born on February 13, 1939, in the village of Lenin-Dzhol, Lenin District, Osh Region, in a peasant family. After graduating from high school, he enrolled in 1957 at the Medical Faculty of the Kyrgyz State Medical Institute. In 1961, he left his studies and began working at the Frunze Television Studio. Since 1962, he started mastering the directing profession and in 1967 became a staff director at the "Kyrgyztelefilm" studio. The rapid creative advancement of D. Sadyrbayev is the result of his studies from 1964 to 1969 in the correspondence department of the directing faculty at the Leningrad State Institute of Theatre, Music and Cinematography, and his active participation as a second director in the filming of the original poetic feature television film "Ak-Meyor" (director M. Ubukeev).
He created the feature television film "Lonely Archa" (1966), concert films "Kyrgyz Estrada" (1967), "Sayra Komuz" (1969), "Masters of Arts" (1970), "Concert of Masters of Arts of Kyrgyzstan" (1975), documentary films "Hold on to the Saddle," "Spring Ala-Too" (both in 1971), "Land of Fathers" (1972), "Chui Valley" (1973), "Teacher of the Russian Language" (1974), "Knight of the Orders of Glory" (1975), and the film-play "Kuyruchuk" (1972).
One of D. Sadyrbayev's best films is "Button" (1973), which addresses the important issue of adult responsibility for the spiritual health of children, the harmony and stability of their emotional state.
In the 1970s, the director filmed "Summer of Emilbek" (1976, "Kyrgyztelefilm"), where he calls on young Soviet citizens to treat the nature surrounding them with care. The film adaptation of Ch. Aitmatov's story "Meeting with Son" — a full-length color feature television film "Arman" (1977) reveals, through the material of wartime and modernity, the high humanism of people's struggle for peace and a happy future for children on our planet.
Member of the USSR Union of Cinematographers since 1975.
