Holy moley, saoman; how did you find it??

Thank you for bringing us this link. Hopefully soon someone will add an ed2k link to make this an 'Official' [REL]

Just finished watching this. WOW!!
What a totally non-linear, rambling, abstract, slice-of-life 58 mins of celluloid we have here..
The little synopsis/blurb on the film is somewhat misleading:
Plot:
A small Mongolian girl lights the fire and feeds the flame that spreads like a wolf's howl in the steppe...
The fire doesn't even get lit until the end of the film.
The last line really describes the
entire film best:
...Like fire, this film grows on itself, in the rhythm and movement of the montage.
The film is like a
montage of everyday life in this particular small little village. There's minimal dialogue [most of it subtitled], and for the most part the camera is a bit intrusive to the villagers made obvious by their constantly staring into it.. The children are the most disconcerting of all in that most stare into the camera with blank, vacant expressions..
Still it was an interesting watch. Kinda reminded me of those Harmony Korine indie oddities; 'Gummo' and 'Julien Donkey Boy'; but without the nasty stuff...
Anyway, glad it's here; thanks again saoman.
(The kids are the most engaging parts of the film, despite their vacant, wandering gazes..)
