Zolbayar Dorj

Regarded as a key figure in Mongolian cinema, Zolbayar Dorj was born in 1976 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Dorj's active years span from the late 1990s to the present, and he is particularly known for his work within the Drama and Action genres, with films such as "Operation Tatar" and "The Men with Blue Dots" gaining critical acclaim. Unfortunately, despite his talent and influence within the Mongolian film industry, Dorj is yet to win an award at a major film festival.
