RAI FILM FESTIVAL 2017: Opening film announced
The RAI FILM FESTIVAL anthropology / ethnography / archaeology is happy to announce that the opening film to the 15th edition of the festival will be THE EAGLE HUNTRESS.
The film wins the newly instituted President's Award, an honorary prize that is assigned to "a film of truly exceptional merit that addresses issues of great contemporary importance and concern in anthropology or archaeology. This film may take the form of either fiction or fact-based documentary, and need not necessarily belong to any conventional ethnographic genre".
THE EAGLE HUNTRESS
Otto Bell USA / 2016 / 87'
THE EAGLE HUNTRESS follows Aisholopan, a 13-year-old girl, as she trains to be the first female in twelve generations of her Kazakh family to become an eagle hunter. Set against the breath taking expanse of the Mongolian steppe, the film features awe-inspiring cinematography giving this intimate tale of a young girl's quest the dramatic force of an epic narrative film.
