Here are some movies that show the culture and a changing society (if you're into movies with explosions and action, they're not for you):
The Story of a Weeping camel by Byambasuren Davaa and Luigi Falorni (2003), my favorite
The Cave of the yellow dog by Byambasuren Davaa (2005) Both films have wonderful music
Khadak by Peter Brosens and Jessica Woodworth
State of Dogs by Peter Brosens and Turmunkh Dorjkhand (1998) A film about reincarnation with harsh images of UB
Perpetuum mobile by Sakhya Byamba (2002) A quiet and minimalist film
Molom, conte de Mongolie by Marie Jaoul de Poncheville (1997)
This one is a beautiful gem of a film

I do small research on cinema from Mongolia. Not all directed by Mongol directors, but cinema which focus on Mongolian culture, traditions, country, music, etc.
I have collected this list already: http://steppes.proboards23.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=826&page=1
Have you seen Molom, Conte de Mongolie wih English subtitles? Where? Also where did you find Perpetuum Mobile by Sakhya Byamba?
Thank you,
greetings.
That's a nice list. I haven't seen it but there is also Mujaan http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0443591/
Jaoul's Yonden http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDCLfUq2Zac and some others I can't remember
I saw both movies during a Mongolian movie week in Paris. Very rare movies, huh? I tried to find them but no such luck
Sain Baino,
"Urga" was the first movie I saw that dealt in Mongolia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urga_(film)
It is set with an optimistic spirit and entertaining sense of humor.
Enjoy it.

Yes, an excellent movie about a nomadic family in Inner Mongolia.
