Exclusive: Paris-based genre specialist Reel Suspects has acquired world sales rights to Mongolian zombie picture Z Zone for a Cannes Market launch.
The debut feature of Bilguun Chuluundorj, the movie follows the fate of a group of young delinquents who are transferred to a mysterious, remote military base for their misdemeanours.
Rather than a strict disciplinary regime, they find themselves in a world of secrets and fighting for their lives against sinister forces that lurk in the shadows.
The cast features Mongolian stars Tsenguun Chingis, Puruvjargal Erdenebileg and Bazarragchaa Byambajav (Shadow Keeper).
Chuluundorj is a member of the bubbling indie cinema scene in the Mongolian capital of Ulaanbaatar.
He previously took co-writing credits on 2022 picture Nomads vs. Zombies by Otgonzorig Batchuluun, mixing comedy, horror and thriller genres.
Chuluundorj is currently attached as writer and director at the Ulaanbaatar entertainment group On ‘n Off Production, having previously collaborated with Hulegu Pictures.

As we have mentioned before in our review of films from the country, Mongolian cinema has been taking gradual steps towards a very interesting path, away from the exotification of the country, which usually revolves around stories taking place in green fields, and instead dealing with contemporary themes, which, most of the time, take place in the urban centre.
