“Passion” Documentary Movie to Release Soon
A latest documentary movie called “Passion” by S.Byamba will premiere at 8pm in the Tengis Movie Theater on February 25.
The movie set in the beautiful Mongolian landscape, offers a unique insight into the past and present of Mongolian cinema.
“Passion” Movie was awarded the 2010 Asia Vision Award Grand Prize at the Taiwan International Documentary Festival, officially selected in the Wide Angle section of the Pusan International Film Festival and screened at the Dubai International Film Festival.
Director and narrator Byamba follows the journey of two filmmakers and tracks two eras in Mongolian history – the Communist era and modern democratic Mongolia.
The story revolves around Binder Jigjid, son of Jigjid Dejid who was a pioneer of Mongolian cinema during the Communist era. Binder follows in his father’s footsteps becoming a filmmaker, but unlike his father, Binder experiences artistic freedom in modern Mongolia.
He travels the countryside to distribute and screen his own low-budget films against a competitive and market driven film industry. Binder’s story echoes the experience of many Mongolian artists as they struggle to meet the multiple challenges of surviving artistically and financially in the market economy.
The movie is also a personal journey for director Byamba as he knows both father and son well. Byamba has a deep respect for acclaimed filmmaker Jigjid Dejid and worked with Binder at a movie studio in his early days as a filmmaker.
The movie explores many different layers; it explores the history of Mongolian cinema, Communist ideology and Post-Soviet freedoms granted to filmmakers.
Central to the film is the question of whether filmmaking is primarily for art or business. The director allows audiences to decide for themselves.
