Mongolian child star, Nansal Balitguluum, recently nominated in Hollywood, has lost her bid to capture an international acting award. 

Balitguluum received world-wide acclaim for her role in the immensely popular Mongolian movie, “The Cave of the Yellow Dog.” 

Among other young actors, Balitguluum had been nominated for Best Child Actor of the World in an International Feature Film Award by the Hollywood’s Young Artist Foundation. 

Eight child stars were nominated for the award. The winner, Sri Lankan child actress Sarala Kariyawasam, played a child widow in the award winning film, “Water”. 

“The Cave of the Yellow Dog” portrays the day-to-day life of a Mongolian nomad family. When young Nansal brings a stray dog into the family, she defiantly keeps the animal when her parents order her to be rid of the dog. Later, the dog finds a place in the family when it saves a child from a threatening vulture.
