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 stray dog patrol team, clearing the town before the 2008 Olympic Games, he strikes up an unlikely connection with a black dog. These two lonely souls now embark on a new journey together.

Black Dog had its global premiere at Cannes Film Festival 2024 winning the Un Certain Regard Award, and the lead canine, Xiao Xin, a Jack Russell-Greyhound cross, winning the Grand Jury Prize of the Palm Dog Award. It has since had its UK premiere at Edinburgh International Film Festival, and is set for its highly anticipated official UK and Ireland release.
