THE BANQUET OF THE SPIRITS, an astoundingly beautiful documentary of the Enauwene Naue Indians of Northern Brazil, who decided that their first images on video should be of a months long harvest ritual, performed for Virginia's and Vincent's cameras. For 7 months every year, the spirits of the dead are venerated with offerings of food, song and dance so they will protect the community and bless it with an abundant harvest and great quantities of fish. It includes; The Sacred Flutes, Dataware's Revenge, Harikare: The Spirit's Host and The Little Cassava Girl. |
