To Kill a Mongolian Horse, Xiaoxuan Jiang (Hong Kong, Malaysia, South Korea, United States, Japan, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, 2024)

Saina tries to make ends meet as a herdsman in the wintry steppes of Inner Mongolia. By day, he takes care of his family’s horses while juggling a grumpy father and a dysfunctional relationship with his ex-wife. At night, he performs in breathtaking horseback shows. Unlike the majestic cavalryman he portrays in the show, Saina must come to terms with how dramatically the world he grew up in has changed. Tradition and modernity, rural and urban life collide in this gripping twilight western set in Mongolia. Director Xiaoxuan Jiang's debut feature recalls the early films of Chloé Zhao.

Film will be screened in original version (Mongolian, Mandarin) with English and Catalan subtitles.

A film in the 2025 edition of D'A Film Festival.
