However, a movement towards rediscovery seems to be taking place; one of Kazans streets is now named after Bigiev. In 2007, as a part of the project "Ijma' – Concord", the Kunstkamera (Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography) of the Russian Academy of Sciences sponsored the documentary "The manuscript and the Fate" about Bigievs life, with a script written by the Orientalist Jefim A. Rezvan. A year later, in 2008, the documentary "And the moon has split", directed by B. Baishev, was awarded a special prize "for the contribution to Islamic Enlightenment" at the fourth Golden Minbar International Film Festival.
