Feminist Thriller ‘Where the Mountain Women Sing’ Teams Patrick Mao Huang, Zhang Juefang at Tokyo Market – TIFFCOM


Zhang Juefang's 'Where the Mountain Women Sing' explores a matriarchal Mongolian village's secrets, backed by Patrick Mao Huang at the Tokyo market.

“While the village appears to be a utopia where women hold power, it is also a place where they are still bound by invisible chains – the rules of the Mountain God, societal pressures, and ritualistic customs that control their fate,” she explains. “By blending the beauty of the Mongolian landscape with an eerie, mystical atmosphere, I aim to create a film that is visually captivating while also delivering a powerful message about the need for personal liberation, self-discovery, and cultural preservation.” Zhang is also developing “When Pigs Fly,” a U.S.-Taiwan co-produced dark comedy about Hollywood scams, and “White Island,” a Thai-French feminist horror film exploring neo-colonial practices and cult activity.
