Les Deux Fils du chaman
Pierre Boccanfuso
1998 - 52 min - Hi 8 - Couleur - France

Pierre Boccanfuso, who is familiar with the Palawans tribe, after several stays among them thanks to the ethnologist Charles Mac Donald, has made a rare film that gets close to the true soul of a native tribe.
The old shaman has just died and this is the moment when the director joins the tribe. From that point on, he takes part in everything and the luck of seeing problems arise and be solved before his eyes. The true story of village that has come to terms with its troubles unfolds like a fiction work in which the characters appear as themselves.
The viewer soon falls under the charm of this facinating story, inhabited by sympathetic heroes. It will be a long time before he forgets the smile of Alma, the heartbreaking sobs of her mother or the jokes of old Medsinu...
