Oscars: Venice Drama ‘City Of Wind’ From Lkhagvadulam Purev-Ochir Set As Mongolia’s 2024 Oscar Entry
deadline.comThe indie drama City of Wind, marking the feature directorial debut of Lkhagvadulam Purev-Ochir, has been set as Mongolia’s International Feature Oscar entry for 2024.
The news comes following its recent world premiere in the Orizzonti Competition of the Venice Film Festival, where actor Tergel Bold-Erdene won the Venice Horizons Award for Best Actor.
The film from the creative nicknamed Dulmaa tells the story of Ze (Tergel Bold-Erdene), a 17-year-old serving as the shaman for his village, who at the same time studies hard at school, in order to succeed in the cold, callous society of modern Mongolia.
When Ze encounters Maralaa (Nomin-Erdene Ariunbyamba), his senses are awakened and another reality seems possible. Also starring Bulgan Chuluunbat, Ganzorig Tsetsgee, and Tsend-Ayush Nyamsuren, City of Wind is produced by Katia Khazak and Charlotte Vincent.
