Authors Under 40 Award - Best direction and screenplay
by Xiaoxuan Jiang
with Saina, Undus, Qilemuge, Tonggalag, Qinartu

(2024, Malaysia, USA, Hong Kong, South Corea, Japan, 98')

Saina, a day laborer and a nighttime performer, plays himself in this spectacular debut by the young Mongolian director Xiaoxuan Jiang. The film provides the audience with a candid portrayal of modern Mongolia, balancing between rural reality and capitalism. Against the backdrop of icy, snow-covered steppes, Saina is forced to perform publicly every night for a ticket price, while his everyday life is slowly falling apart.
