Tavan Bogd – In Search of the Sacred Mountains

This film takes us deep into Mongolia’s Altai Mountains. Camille Armand, Pierre Hourticq, and Victor Daviet share a passion not only for the mountains, but also for exploring remote and unfamiliar terrain. Tavan Bogd — “The Five Sacred Mountains” — refers to a group of peaks steeped in symbolism and legend. For two weeks, a yurt becomes their base camp as they set out to explore this little-known massif on skis and snowboards. But
what are they truly searching for in these mountains?

Director Yannick Boissenot, who gained recognition in 2024 with PACHAMAMA (featured in the FFF archive), once again showcases his eye for storytelling and the camera. With subtle sensitivity, the protagonists merge with the landscape and the locals who accompany them — letting the sacred mountains themselves take the leading role.
