Their deep spirituality marks their lives with rituals leading to the acquisition of knowledge from their ancestors. Especially in Bijagós society, women are the protagonists. They decide how to manage the crops or punish crimes, they are the priestesses of the temple, who manage to communicate with the gods, with the forces of nature and the spirits of the dead. The woman is feared and respected.
This documentary focuses on the lives of women in Eticoga, the main town on the island of Orango.

Heritales @ SHE – Évora – Portugal (21st of July 2022)

Giuseppe, a Shepherd from the City Outskirts & Djurdjevdan Is Yet To Come

The cinema cycle at SHE “In a corner of the world, four different heritages”, will be dedicated to discovering heritages that remain isolated, or are at risk of disappearing.

The fourth session takes us to Europe. First, we accompanied Pastor Giuseppe around Nuoro, on the island of Sardinia (Italy). As he leads his flock to the nearby pastures, he shows them how he has to deal with the traffic and strict rules of the city. The film ironically conveys the contradictions of the decaying value of rural life and Giuseppe’s strong attachment to it.
Then we see the “Djurdjevdan” ceremony, registered in the National Intangible Cultural Heritage of Serbia. The inhabitants of Oparic (Levac) prepare the Saint Patron’s Day dedicated to the Great Martyr Saint George, to glorify the holiday that follows winter, evoke spring and awaken the senses and harvests. People, plants and legends in this village still weave the colorful crowns of Djurdjevdan together, kill sheep and steal doors, from the beginning of time until now.

King for a Day

The cinema cycle at SHE “In a corner of the world, four different heritages”, will be dedicated to discovering heritages that remain isolated, or are at risk of disappearing.

The third session takes us to the British community of Padstow. Between archival footage, ritual recordings and interviews with Cornwall natives over 9 years, this documentary shows what “May Day” means to them, which is a ritual to welcome summer on the 1st of May. It reveals the fragility of a community that sees its centuries-old traditions disappear under the pressure of a constantly changing world. Will this be the last generation to call ‘Old Oss’ from its stable to welcome summer? The tensions between tradition and progress reveal the importance of cultural identity in a globalized society, between friendship, hope, celebration and unity.

Zanskar: a winter of happiness

The cinema cycle at SHE “In a corner of the world, four different heritages”, will be dedicated to discovering heritages that remain isolated, or are at risk of disappearing.

The first session takes us to the Zanskar valley, at an altitude of 3,500 meters in the ancient kingdom of Hymalaya. “Zanskar, a winter of hapiness” shows this Indian valley that has been isolated for centuries, preserving the traditions of a community that warmly welcomes those who manage to cross the difficult paths of mountain ice. Director Caroline Riégel makes a second trip to visit the women of this community, to share their daily life in winter. She manages to capture the testimony of a unique place where time seems to have stopped.
