"Eagle Flute," a film based on Tibetan legends and claimed to be China's first music movie, has won the award "Particularly Recommended Movie" in the fourth Monaco Film Festival concluding Sunday.

It is the only full-length Chinese feature film that is qualified for main competition in this festival.

Shot on the Tibetan-inhabited areas at an altitude of 5,000 m above sea level in southwest China's Sichuan Province, the film tells a love story in multiple music forms such as original Tibetan folk and pop music.

As a film to display cultural differences between the Tibetan and Han ethnic groups, "it will lead the western audience into this snow-covered, mystic plateau and see the unity of different religions and cultures in face of human nature," said a producer of this film.
