- Description
'Bali Today' is one of several educational films made for Encyclopaedia Britannica. The film follows the village of Bedulu [Bedahulu]. Rice is the agricultural staple. The entirety of its growing process is documented from planting to harvest. The ceremonies and traditions such as spinning, vegetable dyes, ceremonial mask carving and painting, rituals of passage, as well as the Kecak (monkey dance) are documented. The Bali people work hard together in order to preserve the hilly yet fertile landscape. Regular offerings and tributes to the gods are given in order to ensure their land remains plentiful.
