Mongolian Film Screening
MB C429,
Please join us for a screening of the Mongolian film If Only I Could Hibernate.
A promising physics student struggles to balance a life-changing scholarship competition with caring for his two younger siblings during the brutal -40°C winters in Ulaanbaatar's ger districts. The movie was written and directed by a rising new Mongolian female director, Zoljargal Purevdash. It is her first feature film; she herself grew up in the ger districts of Ulaanbaatar.
Released in the UK two years ago, If Only I Could Hibernate was screened at BFI cinemas and received international critical attention. It was the first Mongolian film to play in the Official Selection of the Cannes Film Festival and was selected as Mongolia’s official entry for Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards.
