 For tomorrow's Cultural Evening in Cafe Amsterdam, we have a special Mongolian film to show: "Khadak".
This movie (2006) by Peter Brosens and Jessica Woodworth was acclaimed at the International film Festival of Rotterdam and the winner of the “Lion of the Future” award at the Venice Film Festival
Bagi, a young herdsman, is living on the endless Mongolian steppes together with his mother and grandfather. He has a paranormal gift to hear and understand the voices of animals. One day soldiers warn the family that there is a serious epidemic threatening the animals. The soldiers force the nomads to move to a depressing mining city. There Bagi saves the life of a beautiful young girl, Zolzaya, who is a thief. Together with her gang of twelve they discover that the epidemic is a lie with the purpose to stop nomadic life.
A breathtaking telepathic revolution follows….
Boudewijn, who is pasionate about this film and brought it to our attention will be introducing 'Khadak'on Wednesday night at the Cafe Amsterdam's cultural evening. You are welcome to come and share this unique film in the company of others who love all things Mongolian.
If you have a special film that you would also like to share with others -not necessarily about Mongolia and including amateur films, documentary or feature-, please let us know so that we can discuss a screening.
Hope to see you all in Cafe Amsterdam on Wednesday night at 8:00PM.
Team Cafe Amsterdam
