Mongol Kino

The national film studios Mongol Kino were founded in 1935, with soviet technical assistance. Their first productions were a documentary on the "47th anniversary of the 1st may" and a fictional story named Son of Mongolia (Mongol Khüü) directed by the Russian Ilya Trauberg. The first Mongolian directed movie was the black-and-white short feature Norjmaa's Road (Norjmaagiin Zam) by Temet Natsagdorj in 1938.


From then on, the Mongolian movie production focused around heroic revolutionary propaganda and ancient popular legends, still often under Russian direction. This program was very successful with movies like Sükhbaatar (1942) and Two Parts (Tsogt Taij, (1945). The studios of Mongol Kino also produced documentaries and current news reports.

After WW II, the party moved the focus on working class heros, reflected in movies like New Year (Shine Jil, 1954) by Tseveeny Zandraa. The following year the first musical comedy appeared, which started a trend that continued into the 1960ties. Exemples of this genre are Awakening (Serelt, 1961) by S. Genden and The Rejected Girl (Gologdson khuukhen) by Dendevyn Chimid-Osor.
