Synopsis:

Travelling Country is a film about the collision of past, present and future. It is a fantastic tale about the search of one’s true identity and freedom.

 

THE EAGLE HUNTRESS (A Caçadora e a Águia)

Synopsis:

For 2,000 years the people living in western Mongolia have maintained their tradition of hunting with golden eagles, birds of prey with a wingspan of more than 2 metres. Although this job is normally reserved for men, Aisholpan, a 13 year-old girl is determined to become a hunter, just like her dad and her grandfather. And so she begins to study the necessary techniques required for this pursuit. To achieve her goal she needs to beat 70 rivals in a competition and in that way finally be accepted.

Otto Bell directs this documentary which includes spectacular scenery and everyday scenes that portray Aisholpan struggling to make her dreams come true. The film approaches gender issues in a traditional society. A great film for all the family!
