dc.description.abstractShot during a field trip to north-eastern Indonesia in 1994, this film depicts the fleeting 'trivialities' of everyday life in the village of Buli. The sequences centre on the Feplun family and follow them through some of their daily activities and concerns. Instead of combining into a plot the sequences present an accidental slice of Buli life over a three-week period as seen by an anthropologist trying to come to terms with the meaning of Buli culture. -- The resulting Ph.D. thesis "Warriors of the Hornbill, victims of the Mantis: history and embodied morality among the Buli of Central Halmahera" was submitted for examination at the Australian National University in June 1995.
