Mongolian director S.Byamba's film “Remote Control” was selected for the Melbourne International Film Festival and shown to the Australian audience on August 10 and 12.

“Remote Control”, which depicts the harmony and conflict between old and new in fast moving modern life, was seen by 600 visitors in two days. Melbourne International Film Festival, a renowned film festival in the Australia and Asia Pacific region, screened 320 films from 63 different countries in 2013.

“Remote Control” became the first Mongolian film ever selected for the festival.

This was a big move in bilateral cultural relations between Mongolia and Australia. “Remote Control” won the New Currents Award, the top prize of South Korea's Busan International Film Festival, and has been selected to screen in festivals in Munich, Shanghai, Terracotta, Seattle, Vilnius and an international film festival in Belgium.
