Transformation
A group of people calling themselves Akhas live in the tropical forest of Yunnan on the border of China and Myanmar.
In 1994, twins were born. Considered a bad sign, the group also had to coop with an outbreak of malaria and typhoid fever. Ancestral teachings were clear: in order to expel evil, the twins had to be killed and the entire village had to move.
In 1996, this group of people settled down in Manbang with the help of the government. Without telephone lines, electricity, roads or tv cables, they lived their traditional life in complete isolation.
In 2001, a small border patrolled road connected the settlement with the outside world.
'Transformation' is about the group of Akhas that settled in Manbang. It tells about their lives, marriages and burials, births and deaths, disease and work over a period of 4 years: from October 2001 to October 2004. It tells about swiddening or slash-and-burn agriculture: the process of clearing the mountains, planting dry rice and finally cultivating rice paddies. It tells about the demolition of their traditional houses and the construction of new ones with asbestos roofs. It shows the evolution from 'lightning with resin' to electric bulbs.
In the three their world has changed completely and throughout the documentary, we share in their joy and hardship, their poverty and cheerfulness, their hopes for a better life and feelings of fears and insecurity. The makers of the documentary, husband and wife, have selected 'Transformation' out of 5000 minutes of film, made between 2001 and 2004.
2. In Pursuit of the Siberian Shaman，时长72分钟，导演Anya Bernstein（美国）。
This film takes a behind-the-scenes look at an indigenous shaman living on a remote Siberian island as he moves between intimate shamanic rituals performed for local clientele and shows performed at various resorts for Western tourists in search of "primitive" cultures. The film captures cross-cultural miscommunication as the shaman and tourists misunderstand one another, usually comically, sometimes disturbingly, made all the more poignant by conflict between the dominant Russian Orthodox Church and the local shamanic tradition.
Meanwhile, a close look at the early Soviet archival footage of Siberian shamans raises questions about what remains hidden behind the cinematic image, exposing the gap between Western romantic fantasies and the actual plight suffered by contemporary indigenous peoples. Long suppressed by Christian missionaries and then by Soviet anti-religious campaigns, Siberian shamanism has experienced an unprecedented revival following the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the number of shamans continues to rise. But who are these new shamans? Are they tricksters? Magicians? Witch-doctors? Or are they simply clever businessmen out to make a buck on a na?ve and gullible tourist trade? The film explores this phenomenon in a region of Siberia seldom captured on film that has remained an outpost of shamanism in the Mongol world since the times of Genghis Khan.
