Among the nomads of Mongolia, on horseback through the wide-open steppes — their stories whispered in wind, their silence louder than words frames this short film which is an experiment in poetry in motion.

My first film Bedouins of the Wind was never an investigation into camel racing, but an ode to silence and resilience. The Nomads Mongolia was never meant to be a documentary. I wanted to attempt poetry in motion, made of rhythm and refrain..

How Danish Farhan creates poetry in motion
by Vincent Halles
The Nomads Mongolia is not a documentary. It’s not a travel film either. It doesn’t present facts or data, it doesn’t tell you who these nomads are or where to locate them on a map. You don’t need context to feel what’s coming.
