Blood and Incense

Carl Valiquet 2008

Categories: Canadian Spectrum

Average Rating:

Rated 0.0/5 Stars

My Rating:

Run time: 17 min. | Canada | Language: Indonesian

This stunning montage of still photographs and moving images captures the beauty and brutality of the centuries-old Balinese practice of cockfighting. Traditionally, blood must be spilled to appease the bhutas, the evil spirits that live underground. The mesmerizing grace of ceremonial ritual is counterbalanced by the pandemonium of betting and the violence that soon follows.
-Gisèle Gordon

Co-presented with the Images Festival.
