Mongolian Director Zoljargal Purevdash Talks Cannes Title ‘If Only I Could Hibernate’; Surviving Extreme Winter & Inspiring Mongolia’s Youth www. deadline.com

Zoljargal Purevdash’s debut feature If Only I Could Hibernate tells the story of a teenager living in the yurt district of Mongolia’s capital, Ulaanbaatar, who is determined to win a physics competition and earn a scholarship to a good school.
But his plans change when his mother takes a job in the countryside and leaves him and his siblings to fend for themselves. Rather than study, he’s forced to take a risky job so he can buy food and fuel.
“My mum opened a shop in the yurt district when I was teenager and we saw many different kinds of people – some were nomads, some living in difficult situations, some parents buying alcohol for themselves, but no food for their kids, just a few cheap candies,” Purevdash tells Deadline. “Somehow, I always wanted to create something for those innocent little children, to tell them a story that would make them happy, or to give them hope.”
That story ended up being If Only I Could Hibernate, which premieres in Un Certain Regard on Sunday (May 21) as the first Mongolian film ever in Cannes Official Selection. The film not only explores the role of education as a route out of poverty, but raises questions about how to tackle Mongolia’s toxic pollution.
The film is set over winter, and as Purevdash explains, winters don’t come much harsher than in Ulaanbaatar, where temperatures plummet to below minus 30 degrees and the city is choked in thick smog for months at a time, as more than half of the inhabitants live in yurts with no access to heating and burn coal to keep themselves warm.
“As you can see in the movie, the air pollution is crazy in Mongolia,” Purevdash says. “Every winter you have to breath it in, and the kids are also breathing it in, and have heavy metals running through their blood. But the solutions people are coming up with are total nonsense. They’re talking about using refined coal, when they should be installing solar panels.”
After developing the script of If Only I Could Hibernate for several years, Purevdash says she was waiting through what felt like endless cycles of funding applications for international grants, but had also raised some finance from local sources, including the Swiss Agency For Development and Cooperation in Mongolia and a Mongolian fintech group.
“Every winter, when I couldn’t shoot this film, I fell into a long depression,” she says. “I almost gave up on the project, but thought that if I really believe in this story, I should put it on screen in any form possible. Eventually I called my French producer [Urban Group’s Frederic Corvez] and said I’ve got this crazy idea – I’m just going to shoot with what I have.”
This determination seems typical of Purevdash, who has written, directed and produced the film but whose journey into filmmaking was not a straightforward one. She decided at a young age that she wanted to write and direct but was afraid to tell her family who wanted her to enter a more conventional profession.
“We’d watch movies every Saturday night on Mongolian national television – films like Forrest Gump and The Shawshank Redemption, I found them so moving as a teenager,” Purevdash recalls. “There was also a film from Thailand about a trans basketball player. It was the first time I realised you could make the audience totally understand your life and experience through watching a film.”
Like the protagonist in If Only I Could Hibernate, Purevdash also excelled at maths and physics and won a scholarship to enter a prestigious high school. But instead of of pouring over physics books, she joined the school’s drama group, then won another scholarship to study filmmaking at J. F. Oberlin University in Tokyo, Japan. After graduating, she returned to Ulaanbaatar, worked as an assistant director on several local films, then became a mother, which put her filmmaking career on hold.
In 2017, she entered an early version of If Only I Could Hibernate to the Berlin film festival’s Talents Tokyo programme, a lab for Asian filmmakers, and won the Talents Tokyo Award: “That gave me the confidence that I was working on something worthwhile. But I had first timer’s over-excitement and applied to all the international funds way too early,” she remembers. “So I took some time to make three short films and continued working on the script.”
Following her start at Talents Tokyo, Purevdash developed the project through a wide range of other labs and co-production markets, including TorinoFilmLab, Hong Kong Asia Film Financing Forum and Locarno film festival’s Open Doors. She met Corvez at Talents Tokyo and along the way also met her associate producer, Malaysian filmmaker Tan Chui Mui, and Mongolian co-producer Batkhishig Sed-Ayushjav. She also secured post-production funding from Qatar and France.
While post-production happened overseas to fulfil funding requirements, the film went into production with a wholly Mongolian cast and crew. Several crew members were heading departments for the first time – the DoP was a stills photographer and the co-producer had a background in documentaries – while the cast was mostly non-professionals, including children who had grown up in the yurt district.
Mongolia does have a local film industry, producing around 40-60 films year, but Purevdash wanted kids from the yurt district rather than professional child actors for authenticity: “We did a casting call and I chose kids with characters that were similar to the script. I told them why I wanted to make this film, and these kids are so honest and pure, they can see what’s happening around them, and wanted to help me tell this story.”
She adds that with the mercury plunging to minus 42 degrees at one point, more pampered child actors might not have been able to deal with the shoot: “We had to put the cameras into a warm car every five minutes to stop them freezing. I covered my kids with thick blankets, gave them hot drinks and vitamins and put hot sand in their shoes. I don’t think we could have done it without the kids’ strength and spirit.”
Those kids are now flying into Cannes to walk the red carpet at the film’s premiere in Un Certain Regard on Sunday (May 21). Battsooj Uurtsaikh, Nominjiguur Tsend and Tuguldur Batsaikhan head the cast of the film, which was produced by Purevdash’s Amygdala Films and Urban Factory Production, with Urban Sales handling international distribution.
“I wanted people who breath this air to tell the story with me,” Purevdash says. “Everyone worked really hard on this film and we hope it will make people think about how we can give an equal chance of a good education to every kid.”

United States Launches New Grant Program to Advance Clean Energy in Mongolia www.mn.usembassy.gov

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) today launched the Mongolia Energy Research and Innovation (MERI) Fund, a small grants program to bolster Mongolia’s economic growth by facilitating the transition to clean energy.
The grant program is part of USAID’s five-year, $12 million Mongolia Energy Governance project, which is assisting Mongolia in developing a more resilient and sustainable energy sector. Through the project, USAID is working with key government and private sector partners to develop a more competitive and financially sustainable energy sector that will increase economic competitiveness, create a more stable and secure domestic energy supply, and develop more renewable energy projects.
“The U.S. government is pleased to provide these funding opportunities that will help build a robust energy sector ecosystem, strengthen the institutional and human capacity of Mongolian organizations, and develop the necessary tools to facilitate the energy sector transition,” USAID Deputy Development Advisor Steve Winkates said at the launch event.
Through the grant program, USAID will provide grants to eligible think tanks, consulting firms, non-governmental organizations, private companies, research institutions, and other relevant organizations to implement interventions to support energy sector transition.
USAID has a long history of working with Mongolia’s energy sector. USAID’s first program in the early 1990s provided emergency assistance to repair one of Ulaanbaatar’s key power plants to avoid the possibility of a catastrophic shut-down during the winter months. USAID also helped develop energy laws that enabled further development of the market and assisted in the establishment of the Energy Regulatory Authority (now the Energy Regulatory Commission).
For more information about the MERI Fund, please contact Abt Associates, USAID’s implementing partner, at Info_Mongolia@abtassoc.com.

President Thưởng highlighted the fruitful friendship between the two nations in the last nearly seven decades, saying that the bilateral relations had been continuously consolidated and developed strongly.
He highly valued the outcomes of the working session between the Mongolian delegation with the Ministry of Public Security and relevant agencies of Việt Nam, stressing that on the basis of important results of the bilateral cooperation relationship, the two countries would make joint efforts to upgrade their relations and further promote comprehensive cooperation in the new context.
The Vietnamese leader suggested the two sides promote the exchange of delegations at all levels, thus strengthening mutual understanding and trust, and implement measures to create more favourable conditions for people-to-people exchanges.
He also welcomed coordination results and proposals to further enhance cooperation between the National Security Council of Mongolia and the Ministry of Public Security of Việt Nam, and thanked Mongolia for supporting Việt Nam to build a cavalry mobile police force.
President Thưởng called on the Mongolian side to support efforts of ASEAN and Việt Nam in maintaining peace, stability, cooperation and development, and freedom and safety of navigation and overflight in the East Sea (known internationally as the South China Sea).
He highlighted the importance of strengthening the Việt Nam-Mongolia relations in the context of global and regional changes, saying that Việt Nam stands ready to serve as a bridge to support Mongolia in expanding and strengthening ties with ASEAN for peace and prosperity in the region and the world.

Government Takes Steps towards Salary Equality www.montsame.mn

At today's Cabinet session, the Prime Minister has issued an order to take measures aimed at equalizing the salaries of employees in the culture, sports, and health sectors with those in the education and science sectors. In accordance with the Culture Law, the Cabinet has approved a procedure for providing cash benefits equivalent to six months' basic salary to cultural sector employees working in rural areas once every five years. The Minister of Culture, Ch. Nomin, and the Minister of Finance, B. Javkhlan, have been tasked with coordinating and financing these measures within the 2023 budget and reflecting the financial source in the annual state budget in the future.
Currently, Mongolia has 4,470 employees working in 432 rural-owned cultural organizations. According to the regulation, 70 percent of these employees will receive cash benefits. It is worth noting that wages in the cultural sector are lower compared to other public service sectors. Consequently, highly skilled and experienced professionals in rural cultural institutions are leaving their jobs and transitioning to other sectors. For instance, music teachers from cultural centers are moving to secondary schools, and 78 out of 325 employees at 24 locally owned museums have already pursued alternative career paths.
During the Cabinet meeting, the Prime Minister stressed the need to address the salary disparity among civil servants and to establish parity between the basic salaries of employees in the culture, sports, and health sectors and those in the education and science sectors.
The Ministry of Culture has consistently submitted proposals to the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, the Ministry of Finance, the Cabinet Secretariat, and the Standing Committee of Education and Culture of the State Great Khural, advocating for an increase in the basic salary of cultural sector employees. Minister of Culture Ch. Nomin, has stated that salaries within the cultural sector will be gradually increased throughout the current year.
