As you can see in my footage of the filming of The Eagle Huntress, the set-up was quite elaborate. Asher Svidensky, photographer cum "Co-Producer" (See about his important role in Aisholpan's true life story here [ Ссылка ]) is seen standing next to Otto Bell, the Director (both are wearing brown). The filming of Aisholpan “training for” the Golden Eagle Festival was actually shot three days after the festival in which she participated. See “Is The Eagle Huntress really a documentary?” [ Ссылка ] for further description and comment (I am cited as a Canadian traveller who witnessed filming). The filmmaker has denied any out-of-timeline or staging in his film with the exception of the opening scene of the film where an eagle is released to the wild. He has also suggested that those who say he staged anything, “Get lost!” (citing The Sydney Morning Herald article dated March 10, 2017 called, “The Eagle Huntress is an amazing documentary. But is it actually true?”)..... I don’t think so.
