Our goal is to produce films, documentaries, TV shows and music videos to promote and preserve Mongolian culture and history domestically and internationally.

We believe that it is very important to capture and preserve the remaining traces of the many ancient Mongolian traditions that have survived until now, before they get diluted into the modern world. With its vast and beautiful landscape and its low concentration of population, Mongolia is an increasingly popular destination for European and American tourists. There are also tremendous pressures from capitalism driving the country to exploit its vast natural resources, and luring an increasing number of nomads into abandoning their traditional way of life I order to experience the modern city life.

We produce original musical composition by composer Enkhtaivan Agvaantseren incorporating traditional vocals and instruments such as the Mongolian Long Song (urtyn duu) Open in new window and the "horse-head fiddle" (morin khuur) Open in new window. A blend of traditional Asian melodies unified with classical Western opera and modern popular music.



We also produced several films directed by Enkhtaivan Agvaantseren, and based on original stories by Byambaa Bayarmagnai. The goal of our latest documentary project, Doctors of Nature (Baigaliin Emch), is to retrace the long history of central Asian Shamanism, and to capture and document the remaining traces of this ancient tradition.

Our upcoming feature film, The Sky Son (Tengeriin Khuu), takes place amongst the Dukha (Tsaatan) Open in new window tribe of reindeer herders, in the beautiful province near Lake Khövsgöl Open in new window. It relates the extraordinary story of the son of a humble nomad family who has been chosen to become a shaman.

Scene from the film Pearl in the Forest (Moilkhon).
A Pearl in the Forest (Moilkhon) was one of the first films aimed at retracing the history of the different ethnic groups that compose Mongolia. It was also one of the first films to openly relate the events of the 1930’s and the impact of the rise of Soviet communism on Mongolia. The film was shot in the real location where the events took place, near the Buryat Open in new window village of Dadal Open in new window, in the Khentii province Open in new window, in north-eastern Mongolia.

We hope that these films will present a cultural experience that will capture the interest of audiences around the world. Please visit the "news" page of our site for updates on our latest projects.


The importance of preserving the culture and traditions of Mongolia has been recognized internationaly, and several Mongolian traditions have already been added to UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity Open in new window.
