In 1998 she began to work as a moderator and director’s assistant with\u00a0Mongolian National Television. In 2000 she moved to\u00a0Munich, Germany, to study documentary film and communication sciences at the\u00a0University of Television and Film Munich.<\/p>\n

\u2666\u2192 \u00a0Story of the Weeping Camel<\/a>\u00a0\u21d0[2003]<\/h5>\n

A nomadic family in Mongolia’s Gobi desert faces a problem when a white camel colt is born in a difficult delivery and the mother rejects it. Repeated efforts by the extended family to get the mother to nurse the colt fail. The colt stands alone and cries for its mother. The family worries that the colt will not survive. Finally, Dude (Enkhbulgan Ikhbayar), the older boy, is sent to a nearby town to find a musician who can perform a \u00abHoos\u00bb ceremony. Little Ugna (Uuganbaatar Ikhbayar) begs to go\u00a0along. The two boys travel for miles across the desert, stopping at a neighbor’s yert, where Ugna is delighted by his first encounter with television. They travel on to the village, and then return home with word that a musician is on the way. A musical ceremony is performed in an effort to get the mother camel to accept her colt. The Story of the Weeping Camel is a blend of documentary footage and narrative. Filmmakers Luigi Falorni and Byambasuren Davaa cast a real nomad family of herders and shot many of the events in the film as they occurred.<\/p>\n
