The Vanishing Tribes of Borneo PT 1

Описание: In 1985, an ethnographic documentary was filmed in the highlands of Borneo along the Baram River, showcasing the traditional practices of the Kenyah people during rice harvesting, their journey of cultural assimilation, and their animistic beliefs surrounding headhunting.

The documentary is accompanied by a captivating soundtrack featuring traditional music performed by the Kenyah and Penan Tribes. These authentic recordings were collected during a year-long Ethnomusicology study conducted along the Baram River in Sarawak, Malaysia.


With over 8 hours of recordings, 200 pages of documentation, and hundreds of photographs documenting traditional life, this expedition was successfully able to preserve this material with the museum in Sarawak and the Anthropology Museum of Berlin

This film was shot in Super 8, and the recordings were done on a Nagra real-to-reel
