Based on the novel "Zanabazar" by folk writer Seng Erden, this film reflects the historical life and creative path of Zanabazar, popularly known as "High Saint". Gombodorji Zanabazar (1635-1723), the first head of Mongolian Zoroastrianism, the first Bogd, and sculptor, was born in the area of Usan-i-sum in Tusheet Khan Province, now in Uvorkhangai Province. Zanabazar was brought up in a religious school from a young age, and at the age of 15 he was recognized as the incarnation of Jawzandamba. G. Zanabazar's mistakes cannot be forgiven as he played a dark role in losing the country's independence by subjugating Manchuria. However, as he was a man who spoke several Eastern languages, composed the Mongolian Soyombo alphabet, wrote poems, was a sculptor, and a multifaceted scholar, his artistic works became very famous.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
