Darkhan (2026)
Дархан
Director: Vladimir Ponomarev
Deep within the Eastern Sayan mountains, tucked into the southwestern corner of Buryatia, sits the tiny ulus of Myla—a Khamnigan settlement where survival is a daily battle, from simply keeping the home warm to facing every hardship the land throws its way. What role do Darkhan's ingenuity, restless curiosity, and skilled craftsmanship play in helping the whole community endure the brutal conditions of Zakamna? And how does Dondok Dorzhiyevich bridge the seemingly impossible gap between two worlds—working as both a darkhan and a shaman who fashions Buddhist ritual objects?
