DOCUMENTARY ABOUT WEDDING TRADITIONS CREATED

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Aimed to conserve and advertize intangible cultural heritage of Mongolia, a documentary about wedding traditions of Bayad ethnicity was developed. The art director of the film P.Temuujin has opened a "Land of Northern Bayad" exhibition at the “Art House” gallery of 50 photographs taken during the film making. The film script is based on the doctoral work of E.Erdenetsetseg, a head of Department for Art Studies of the University of Art and Culture. A director is J.Norolkhoo, the State Honored Figure of culture. Initiator of this project culturist A.Altangerel said our traditions and behaviors are changing as the society changes, and that this thought led him to create this film. "There is no Mongolian documentary that presents cultural heritage. A greater part of the wedding traditions of the Bayad is similar to those of other Mongolian groups”.
