NAMAG

In this world, how many people lived as they wanted and dreamt of?

Swamp… colorful like an forest clearing might be even place that can be more fancier. But if you ever dipped your feet in dirty swamp it will drag you down to its depth, finally you will be unable to move and cruelly drowned into. More you try to get out from, it will pull you down more.

You have two choices. Either you go around way from swamp. Or adapt and stay as part of it.

Director Statement

Greetings to people who are reading this. I was born as the youngest child of trumpeter Bymbaa at Ulaanbaatar in 1974. I spent most of my childhood on stage following my father. Person who loves, enjoys, and admires art while preparing its frame of mind to become an artist can also feel like reborning in this world. I am absolutely confident that deciding to become a director among the many occupations to feel this wonderful enlightenment, madness, and freedom requires really challenging measures.

My viewpoint of life is that humans should live with purpose, and establishing its stance and ambition is essential in life. It feels really weird and regretful that Mongolian audience does not watch my works that are inspired and made by my approach. Well, I think the majority of the audience are not ready and have no interest in watching, reading, and observing creative art, while they love to watch poorly and unacceptably made comedic films in our home country.

I , Ganbold Bymbaa, show my deepest gratitude to you for opening a way to other countries that have an audience who appreciates, acknowledges and respects creative arts. Also my films can be recognized as my body parts. Humans have many organs and body parts, most importantly, organs should be healthy, fair and square…

Sincerely, director Ganbold Bymbaa
