City of the Steppes

Belgium 1994
52 min
Betacam SP
Production: Inti Films

With few words, the film captures fragments of urban and rural life in Mongolia, at a key moment in the fall of the Soviet Union, revealing the paradoxical aspects of that now vanished empire. After seventy years of communism, the city stands like a scar on the steppes and in the minds of the Mongolian people; an encyclopaedia, not only of decaying traces from the past, of old values and new meanings, but also of people, their memories, desires and conflicts.
