Dulamsuren TSENDDORJ,Tumendemberel SARANTUYA, 2001, 23 min., video

This first documentary film by producer Tumendemberel Sarantuya follows the steps of one of the last travelling cinema projectionists in Mongolia. Based in the western part of the country, the projectionist travels from one nomadic community to another, carrying all his equipment --- projectors and old prints- on mules, horses and camels. This film is an homage to one man's passion for cinema and his struggle to survive amid a new economic system that will no longer sustain travelling cinema.
