has been visiting shamans from an early age, consulting the spirits for guidance when confronting thorny life challenges. So it came as no surprise when, several years back, the filmmaker’s mother urged her to visit a shaman during a particularly turbulent time in her life.
That encounter was the creative and emotional spark for “Ze,” Purev-Ochir’s feature-length directorial debut, which will take part in Locarno’sco-production platform for films from Southeast Asia. The film tells the story of the budding relationship between a teenage shaman and a young woman, set in the impoverished yurt district of the Mongolian capital, Ulaanbaatar.
Through the film, Purev-Ochir also embarks on a personal journey, interrogating her own beliefs about shamanism and its place in the society around her. “I believe in it personally, but that doesn’t also mean that I believe in every single shaman that is appearing right now in Mongolia,” she said.
