Abstract:

Filmed entirely in Bali-the famed Hindu island in the archipelago of Indonesia - this DVD shows the day-to-day life of the islanders, their folksongs, gamelan orchestras and dance dramas. The temple is the focal point of each village where the villagers gather for religious ceremonies as well as for music and dance. The film features stunning, rarely captured footage of two religious dance/dramas named Barong, and Ketchak, the legendary "monkey chant".
