	Firecracker \| The Cave of the Yellow Dog (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		In a nice comment belying her ambivalence towards the rapid urbanizationeroding these traditional lifestyles, Davaa has the father return from town with an impressive set of brightly-coloured plastic kitchen containers - their cheap disposability is made apparent quite soon when one of them melts into uselessness on the stove.
		But it’s Davaa’s focus on the children that marks The Cave of the Yellow Dog apart, with apparently improvised scenes of children playing and handling their chores that really resonate with truth.
		Byambasuren Davaa is interviewed in the current print issue of Firecracker.

	Byambasuren Davaa, Die Höhle des gelben Hundes
		Byambasuren Davaa: They’re not actors at all – they are a real family still living in the way that they do in the film.
		Byambasuren Davaa: In general I take a fifty fifty split between that which is staged and that which is observed.
		Byambasuren Davaa: I showed it to them on a little video recorder, and generally they said yes, that’s how we really are, but then the mother, in particular, starting worrying, ‘why haven’t the children washed their faces?’ ‘why does my hair look so strange?’ but then they said yes, that’s how we really are anyway.

	The story of the weeping camel (Die geschichte vom weinenden kamel) - Janchiv Ayurzana, Chimed Ohin, Amgaabazar Gonson, ...
		We are complementary to each other in that I believe Byambasuren has the gift to give warmth to each single scene, whereas my strength lies in fitting the different bits and pieces to a consistent story.
		During the shooting Byambasuren mainly took care of the communication with the nomads and of their direction.
		This project has been very demanding for everyone involved, especially for Byambasuren, Tobias Siebert, who is the student producer, and me. It was planned to be a 60 minute TV documentary, but ended up as a full-length picture that will soon have theatrical release in Germany (January 2004) and many other countries around the world.

	Mongolia's Submission for Best Foreign Language Film (Academy Award), UCLA International Institute
		Mongolia is one of the three newcomers to submit a film for Oscar consideration this year with Byambasuren Davaa and Luigi Falorni’s Gobi desert narrative-documentary, The Story of the Weeping Camel.
		The film is Davaa and Falorni’s collaborative graduate student thesis project at Munich Film Academy, inspired by the early work of Robert J. Flaherty in films like Nanook of the North (1922) and Man of Aran (1934).
		Byambasuren Davaa is a native of Mongolia and the first generation of her traditionally nomad family who grew up in the city.

	Art Right Now2 -
		The distinctions lie in the gentleness and subtlety of Falorni and Davaa’s storytelling, and their total and crucial avoidance of Hollywoodism.
		Certainly, by bringing this ‘real’ nomad family to the screen, Davaa forces Western audiences to reassess many of their assumptions about such ‘primitive cultures’ as the nomads, who we find to be a hard-working but deeply contented and close-knit community, where a sense of family abides that is not so far removed from our own.
		Sweeping longshots of the barren (yet strangely beautiful) Mongolian desert, coupled with the noticeable absence of a soundtrack, create a sense of observation in the viewer that is more akin to quietly studying a work of art than to being ‘entertained’.

	2006 Philadelphia Film Festival (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Director Byambasuren Davaa, a student from both the Mongolian Film School and the Munich Film School, is no stranger to festival audiences: her previous work, the estimable and much-loved Story of the Weeping Camel (2003), screened in PFF two years ago and received an Academy Award nomination as best documentary.
		The tale of her new film centers on Nansal, the daughter of a nomadic Mongolian family who finds a puppy that she befriends, but is forbidden to keep by her father, who fears bad luck and the possible wild nature of the animal.
		As with Davaa’s previous festival favorite, Cave of the Yellow Dog is not to be missed.

	OFFOFFOFF film review THE STORY OF THE WEEPING CAMEL Mongolian movie by Byambasuren Davaa, Luigi Falorni with Janchiv ...
		Not much of the plot and none of the other actresses opposite Seyrig remain in my memory banks, but the images of Mongolia are crystalline the nomadic herders, their impressively furnished yurts, and a mesmerizing vista of high desert plain under a cerulean heaven.
		Furthermore, this particular family and their camels were, in a manner of speaking, "cast," in that they were chosen by co-directors Byambasuren Davaa and Luigi Falorni as the best fit for a story idea that was based on a movie Davaa remembered from her childhood.
		Although her grandparents were nomads, Davaa was born in Ulaanbaatar, and grew up to work in public television and enroll in the Mongolian Film Academy before heading to Europe to study documentary production at the Munich Film School.

		This modest yet magnificent film is the graduation project of film students Byambasuren Davaa and Luigi Falorni, extending beyond the tale of a camel and colt to explore the fragility and beauty of an ancient way of life.
		Unintentionally, Falorni and Davaa stumble upon a spectacular story, which they were fortunate to transmit to the world through their documentary.

		Davaa certainly has a visible skill to create cinematic minimalism.
		True, if you decide to take the cynical route to seeing this film, you could say it was made with Western audiences in mind, eager for a dose of innocence which is no longer possible to find in the industrialised, cynical West.
		Even this point of view, though, would not have the strength to dismiss Davaa's obvious skills as a filmmaker but it could provide an angle from which to understand the origin of feelings of tenderness stemming from a film experience.

		A newborn camel is rejected by its mother and a Mongolian herding family scrambles to rectify the situation in Byambasuren Davaa and Luigi Falorni's debut feature, part ethnographic study and part fable.
		Inspired by the films of Robert Flaherty, who combined pure documentary footage with staged sequences, the filmmakers recruited a real multigenerational family of nomadic herders and recorded their daily lives in the harsh Gobi desert while improvising a preconceived story involving a camel-birthing drama and a traditional music ritual.
		While not as aggressively anthropomorphized as such vintage Disney family fare as CHARLIE, THE LONESOME COUGAR (1967), Davaa and Falorni's film does suggest that camels have inner lives as rich and complicated as the human beings with whom they live in such intimate proximity.

		Written by: Luigi Falorni & Byambasuren Davaa, based on an idea by Davaa and Batbayar Davgadorj.
		The rest of the film is executed through little narration or dialogue, underlining the film’s breathtaking cinematography.
		In a Discovery Channel sort of way, directors Byambasuren Davaa and Luigi Falorni successfully present a unique and heartwarming portrait pleasantly rewarding to the dry souls of us urbanites today.

		And we witness the shearing of a camel as well as a spectacular live birth.
		Co-directors Luigi Falorni and Byambasuren Davaa have a wonderful eye for the desert landscape, and their widescreen compositions—especially at sunset—are stunning.
		Maverick genre-bending in the manner of Beck and Jim White, and the stylistic variety suits Prophet's compositions, peopled by crazed desperados and beautiful losers.

		For one thing, when they are born, their humps are all floppy.
		Filmmakers Luigi Falorni and Byambasuren Davaa (who is originally from Mongolia, where the film was shot) were fortunate enough to be on hand when a camel crisis occurred, of just the type they had planned to invent, if necessary.
		So while the film has an appropriately calm pace, befitting the lives it depicts, there is also an elementally powerful narrative drive in the story of a mother that rejects her offspring.

	Combustible Celluloid film review - The Story of the Weeping Camel (2004), Byambasuren Davaa, Luigi Falorni, dvd review
		The nomadic herders must send for a violinist to perform a ritual that will save the little snow-white calf.
		Directed by two Munich film school graduates, Byambasuren Davaa and Luigi Falorni, the film owes a great deal to Robert Flaherty's Nanook of the North.
		It's relentlessly staged and often faked, but it uses these methods to get at a specific reality.
