Mongolkino

Background
Mongolkino is the national film production studio in Mongolia. It was founded in 1935 as Ulaanbaatar Film Studio, but the current name is adopted in the early 1950's. Until early 2000's, it was one of the most active film production companies of Mongolia, but the production declined when the Mongolian People's Republic is collapsed in 1992, with new film studios (Khangard and Batkhaan) started producing its own films. In 2010's, Mongolkino started archiving its own films until The Last Emperor of the King ("Хааны сүүлчийн хатан", 2000), which was the last Mongolian film to utilitize its black and white film print.
