Abstract:

The micro-drama series My Altay is an audiovisual work that embodies unique ethnic culture and emotional dimensions.
Its narrative explores the process of acquiring the cultural and psychological elements associated with an ethnic group's "emotional expressions". The body language in the drama is not only a physiological response, but also a manifestation of the ecological world and emotional state. The characters in the drama move fluidly within the natural environment, their bodies merging with the surroundings. Through the landscapes and their physical gestures, they convey emotions, forging deep emotional bonds. The film reflects the interaction between humans and nature, showcasing the emotional dimension of multi-ethnic integration. By interweaving the body and environment, expressing desires and emotions, the character's image becomes more vivid. The contrast between traditional and modern life in the drama showcases the emotional power of confrontation and integration, reflecting individuals' emotions and cultural belonging when facing social changes.

Key words: My Altay, emotions, body, desire
