Black Dog

On the edge of the Gobi Desert in Northwest China, Lang returns to his hometown after being released from jail. While working for the local dog patrol team to clear the town of stray dogs before the Olympic Games, Lang strikes up an unlikely connection with a black dog. These two lonely souls now embark on a new journey together. Black Dog is a fusion of western, film noir and offbeat comedy with a highly lovable mutt at its centre. It was awarded both the Un Certain Regard top prize and the Palme Dog at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.
