Biddle's Escape to Host Screening and Presentation of Mongolian Rock

Pittsburgh-based documentary filmmaker Lauren Knapp will be giving two screenings and presentations of her forthcoming documentary “LIVE FROM UB" about the Mongolian rock music scene.

One of the events will take place from 8 to 9 p.m. on April 11 at Biddle's Escape in Regent Square. 

The other is set from noon to 1 p.m. on April 10 in Posvar Hall at the University of Pittsburgh.

The documentary explores how Mongolian rock music played a role in the country’s development as a new democracy over the past 20 years and how a new generation of Mongolians are creating a new kind of Mongolian rock.

Knapp spent nearly a year living in Mongolia conducting research and filming interviews with Mongolia’s top rock and pop musicians. She created more than 40 short videos profiling culture and the music scene in both urban and rural Mongolia.
