Finally, ‘<em class="">Bayandalai: lord of the Taiga</em>’ (Mongolia, 2018) explores the largest forest on earth through the eyes of a reindeer herder in the north of Mongolia.</p><p style="margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 150%;" class="">After the screening, speakers from three continents will comment on the movies and share their own pastoralist experiences with the public.

And pastoralists are far from being spared. How do they navigate through such an uncertain world? Such will be the focus of the photo exhibition ‘An Uncertain World’, presented in the exhibition hall of the cinema. Through a curated selection of images, visitors are invited to discover the way they embrace uncertainty to meet the challenges of a turbulent world.
