Best Film on Mountain Culture
Sponsored by PETZL ($2000)
A Little Bit Mongolian
Australia, 2009, 55 minutes
Directed and produced by Michael Dillon
Angus, 12, is from Australia. On a visit to Mongolia, he saw children his age racing cross-country in long distance horse races. He vowed he would one day join them. In this heartwarming film, Angus returns to Mongolia, intent on training so that he too can compete in the big Naadam Festival horse races.
“This film shows that the essence of Mongolian life is horses,” says jury member Michael Pause. “And it shows two cultures coming together.”
