The Mongol's Fort


Take a VERY close look at these images. This fort is located on the Ili River, about an hour and a half out of the city.



Believe 85% of what you hear, 75% of what you read, and 50% of what you see. This entire site is made of plastic and compressed cardboard. It's an abandoned movie set, out on the steppe. In 2004, one of my students' father built this set for the movie "Nomads." Filmed between here and Outer Mongolia, it's one of the first Kazakh films accepted by the industry.
