    Abstract: On the tiny islands of Sapudi and Madura in Eastern Java, racing bulls are fed a special diet of chillies, beer, honey, herbs and eggs and are sensuously massaged to keep them on top form. This is because racing bulls represent honour, masculinity and identity to the islanders whose young jockeys train with almost religious zeal for the annual contest.

    Abstract: Based on the novel by Prafulla Roy, Charachar (Shelter of the Wings) revolves around the film's protagonist Lakha, who comes from a family of bird catchers. Each day Lakha traps birds and sells them to Shashmal, the local dealer who in turn sells them to wealthy people who live in the city. Unfortunately, before they are sold, many of the birds die.

    Abstract: A further visit to the Mursi of Southern Ethiopia, with whom contact was established 17 years ago, for an important coming of age ceremony which has had to be postponed many times. An elder of the Mursi faces his last and most important challenge -- to arrange this ceremony. The date has been finally set but life has been very difficult for the Mursi over the past few years owing to attacks by hostile tribes, drought, famine, disease and cattle raiders and even now the ceremony may not take palace. There was a meningitis epidemic from which many people died until a vaccination and treatment programme ended it. This time we visit the South, the heartland of the Mursi, but everyone is fearful for the future.

    Abstract: The proper time for a man to go through the Age Set Ceremony, the nitha, is just as he reaches physical maturity. But many years may elapse from one nitha to the next, so it is inevitable that some men will be well past this stage before they become 'adults'. Thus the occasion of this nitha, performed by the Mursi of Southwest Ehtiopia, gives adulthood to an entire generation for the first time in thirty years. The ceremony affirms individual identities as adults as well as their group identity as Mursi. The ceremony is performed admidst fears that this may be the last nitha. The continuing attacks on the tribe by the Bume and other neighbouring enemies using automatic weapons and the constant threat of drought and famine all undermine the existence of the Mursi.

    Keywords: Albanians. ; Albania Social life and customs. ; Ireland ; Documentary films.
    Abstract: With the fall of the Stalinist regime in Albania, one of the poorest countries in Europe, the people of a remote mountain village, Rrogam, are faced with the dilemma of how to re-allocate the land and flocks after 40 years of collectivism. For the first time they have to make their own decisions in the face of an uncertain, changing future, and eke out an existence without the direction from above to which they have become accustomed. Rrogam is a small Catholic village more than 3,000 feel above sea level in Northern Albania. Closed to foreigners since the second world war, the Disappearing World team were the first outsiders to fully explore this area in the north. Traditional Northern Albanian society stressed honour and etiquette. Today these traditional codes have been replaced with Albanian law, effecting the Rrogamis deeply. But Northern Albanians still follow their own rules for interpersonal relations and stick to traditional behaviour when it does not conflict with new Albanian law.

    Keywords: Ethnology ; Kalash (Pakistan people) ; Pakistan Social life and customs. ; Canada ; Documentary films.
    Abstract: The Kalasha are a tribal people, 3,000 strong, who live in the high valleys of the Hindu Kush mountains in the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan. The Kalasha are unique as a pagan people in this Islamic Republic. Joshi, their three day festival of song and dance, rituals and sacrifice and the re-telling of legends celebrates the coming of spring and encourages chivalrous romance between the sexes. All this provides a colourful focus for this film which explores the life and customs of the Kalasha. Before the menfolk depart to the high mountain pastures for the goats’ summer grazing they present the women with goats’ milk and bread that has been ritually purified. The women sing their thanks, praise and food and clamour for more. Whilst the men are away, the women stay in the narrow valleys, tending their tiny terraced fields of wheat, maize and millet. The Kalasha are worried that their way of life is under threat. The naively mortgaged land and walnut trees to their Chitrali Muslim neighbours, often in exchange for paltry loands. The Chitralis now covet the profits to be made from exploiting the cedar and holm oak which grow in the Kalasha valleys. The Pakistan government is aware of the problems and would like to safeguard the Kalashas’ existence as a flourishing minority culture and tourist industry. But a future as a ‘zoo people’ within a tourist park does not appeal to the Kalasha. They are happy to welcome tourists at their festivities and they appreciate interest in their customs, but they are pragmatic about its value to them.

    Abstract: Based on 'The Meek One', a short story by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, a 40-year-old antique shop owner and money lender recounts his first meetings with his 17-year-old wife, when she pawned her items at his shop. As the film progresses, their marriage is revealed to be an unhappy one with his wife growing increasingly distant and contemptuous of him. Their relationship gets more complicated with each quarrel and consequent reconciliation, even driving his wife to point a gun to his head. Sadly, it is ultimately she herself who gets destroyed. A languidly-paced drama that is a departure from the average Indian narrative film, told largely through the internal monologue of the husband.

    Abstract: In the practice of overtone singing (called also bi-phonic singing), whose best known examples can be found in Mongolia and with the Tuva people of Southern Siberia, a single person sings what the audience perceives as two voices at the same time a low pitch with his vocal cords, and in addition, a high-pitched melody using harmonics (overtones) selected by modifying the volume of the mouth cavity. This documentary is not an ethnography filmed in location. It is partly an illustration of the results of former research, partly the very actual investigation on overtone singing carried out in Paris, in the Ethnomusicology Department of the Musée de l'Homme, during a workshop, during a concert of the Mongolian National Ensemble, and in the medical visualization department of a hospital. The central figure is Tran Quang Hai, a well-known musician specialized in Vietnamese music, a performer and researcher in overtone singing, who is there working with the filmmaker in the same research group. The initial idea was to explore new technologies allowing the visualization of music structure and performance. The film shows for the first time in real time and with synchronous sound how biphonic singing operates from the physiological as well as the acoustical point of view. While shooting the x-ray pictures of tongue movements and the spectral views of overtones, the filmmaker and his collaborators discovered for the first time — like the viewer of the film — how this unique vocal technique operates.
