Faces of the SpiritsThe Sulka People of Papua New Guinea On a remote area on New Britian Island, approximately 4,000 Sulka live much as their ancestors did. Ceremonies, both traditional and contemporary, featuring their unique Tumbuan hemlaut and sisi masks, continue today. They are presented here for the first time on film with comments by Sulka leaders giving their insights into understanding how these rituals express Sulka culture. Distributed by: Pacific Pathways |
The Drum and the MaskTime of the Tubuan This fascinating documentary explores a complex ceremony of initiation into a secret and sacred male society among the Tolai people of Papua New Guinea. The society is known as the Tubuan, as is the extraordinary mask form that personifies its powers and is featured in the initiation ceremony. Afforded unprecedented access into the ceremony, the filmmakers successfully illustrate how the Tubuan underlies all aspects of Tolai life. This outstanding ethnographic study will stimulate discussion and analysis in a variety of courses in cultural anthropology, Pacific Island studies, Asian studies, and art history.
