BALI
Bali has always had visitors from afar, but few in 1908 had access to a camera that could film moving images.
In 1927 the image of the witch was brought to the screen in the first fiction film set on Bali, Calon Arang.
Little is known of this film, and no copies survive, but the makers
probably had links with the Italians who owned the moving picture
theatre in Denpasar, where Charlie Chaplin played on the screen for
enthusiastic Balinese audiences. The film Calon Arang was
described as a tropical romance featuring palm trees, beachcombers, and
'the inevitable bevy of dusky beauties such as never were seen on land
or seas'. This comment tells little about the film, but it does show how
conscious the image-makers of Bali were of trying to add depth and
respectability to the idea of Bali.
The Rangda (witch-heroine of the Calon Arang story) and the kris dance eventually became the most potent of all the elements of Bali's image, and could be counterpoised to the superficial image of the tropical paradise. The gentle figure of the young female dancer of the Sang Hyang trance dance was balanced by the horrible figure of the witch of Calon Arang. If Dr Krause tried to emphasise harmony and the organic community in his description of Bali, then the Rangda represented the other side of this image, the feeling that lurking under the harmony there were wild forces ready to run amok. The 'Island of the Gods' has also been called 'The Island of the Demons', most notably in a German film shot in 1931, and later in a Dutch novel of 1948.
Little is known of a Dutch film titled Mahasoetji: Van Java's Vulkanengweld en het Wondere Bali made in 1929 by NIFM. However, the next important movie shot in Bali has the most wonderful title of Goona-Goona, An Authentic Melodrama.

Balinese style of Hinduism. These beliefs still maintained a balance
between ancient beliefs, and the outside world, beyond this fabled isle.

Sang Hyang and Kecak Dance (1926)
A film by (Willy) W. Mullens
Bali - Sanghijang und Ketjaqtanz (Sang Hyang and Kecak Dance)
The Sanghyang
is a trance dance performed by young girls. We can imagine that the
sight of little girls swaying in an incense-filled atmosphere,
surrounded by seated men with arms akimbo, must have looked particularly
weird to Europeans in 1926. Mullens may have worked with Gregor Krause,
who was based in Bangli, especially since these images fit into the
scheme of Krause's book. They add depth to the idea of Bali's culture,
but present some of the most extreme and exotic visual aspects of that
culture.
Bali - Leichenverbrennung und Einascherung einer Fürstebwitwe (Royal Cremation) and Bali/ 1926
in 1926 the first moving pictures of Bali were made available to the world by a Dutch film-maker named (WILLY) W. Mullens.
The royal
cremation featured the corpse of a queen of Bangli being carried on to a
cremation tower before being taken to the graveyard and burnt in a
lion-shaped sarcophagus.
Film pertama mengenai Bali adalah film dokumenter “Royal Cremation”.
Film ini dibuat oleh seorang Belanda yang bernama W. Mullens pada 1926
(Anda bisa lihat seperti apa isi film tersebut melalui video klip RIA
Novosti yang diambil gambarnya dalam masa 82 tahun [hyperlink]. Jadi
Anda bisa bayangkan, pengaruh apa yang dapat diberikan oleh pertunjukan
serupa terhadap orang-orang Eropa yang hidup di tahun 20-an ketika film
belum menjadi pesona). Film tersebut ditakdirkan sukses, dan setelah
“kesuksesan pertama” ini, seniman sinematografi dari Prancis, Jerman,
dan Amerika silih berganti membuat filmnya di Bali

KRISS, THE
LOVE POWDER
GOONA GOONA - 1932 - Rare documentary filmed in Bali
Available at www.robertsvideos.com or call 1-800-440-2960 GOONA GOONA 1932 - Directed by Armand Denis & Andre Roosevelt - Rare documentary filmed in Bali - a.k.a. KRISS
Its American title was Love Powder, but most exhibitors preferred to
stick to the film's original moniker Goona-Goona. This was the second of
the many exotic documentaries assembled by intrepid explorer-hunters
Andre Roosevelt and Armand Denis. Amidst reams of authentic expedition
footage, the producers endeavored to contrive a dramatic plotline
involving the romance between a Balinese prince and a servant girl. Our
hero finally wins the heroine's love with the help of a magic potion
concocted by the local witch doctor. Goona-Goona was re-edited to
conform to American censorship restrictions by Al Friedlander, the head
of First Division Pictures.
The
remote little island only became news to the rest of the Western world
with the advent, a few years ago, of a series of documentary films of
Bali with a strong emphasis on sex appeal. These films were a revelation
and now everybody knows that Balinese girls have beautiful bodies and
that the islanders lead a musical-comedy sort of life full of weird,
picturesque rites. The title of one of these films, Goona-goona, the
Balinese term for "magic", became at the time newyorkese for sex allure.
The newly discovered "last paradise" became the contemporary substitute
for the nineteenth-century romantic conception of primitive Utopia,
until then the exclusive monopoly of Tahiti and other South Sea islands.
And lately travel agencies have used the alluring name of Bali to
attract hordes of tourists for their round-the-world cruises that make a
one-day stop on the island."
(Miguel Covarrubias, Island of Bali, 1937)
Actual organised tourism came to Bali in the 1920's. By 1930 up to 100 visitors a month were arriving, mostly by sea. Their ecstatic reports were so positive that by 1940 this figure had increased to about 250 per month, not including the passengers on the various cruise ships that advertised a day or two in Bali as the highlight of their winter schedules.
The Dutch Steamship Line, K.P.M., initiated the first tourist passages to Bali on its cargo ships and several enterprising characters were quick to take advantage of these developments. A Persian-Armenian, M.J. Minas, was the first to realise the tourist potential. He introduced moving pictures to the villages, travelling with a portable projector, and he established the first movie theatre in Buleleng. Minas started picking up passengers off the K.P.M. ships in about 1920. An American adventurer, Andre Roosevelt, arrived in Bali in 1924 and joined Minas, bringing American Express and Thomas Cook patronage with him. Andre Roosevelt undertook in the 1920s to develop the tourist market, although this did not deter him from suggesting measures to preserve the integrity of Balinese society and its culture:
Having leisure, my friend Spies and I started a scheme which would tend to slow down the invading forces from the West and keep the Balinese in their happy, contented ways for a few decades longer ….. We want to make of Bali a national or international park, with special laws to maintain it as such.

| The black-and-white film Goona-Goona, An Authentic Melodrama, also called Der Kris and The Kris,
was originally shot in 1928 and 1929 by Andre Roosevelt and Armand
Denis with assistance at the outset from Spies. Walter Spies wrote about
his collaboration with Roosevelt: "I'm doing the directing and most of
the work; a certain Mr Roosevelt turns the handle. I've got a
marvellous, very simple story for it and have found some very good
actors." Much of it was re-filmed in 1929 after a processing accident in Surabaya in November 1928. Walter Spies was not involved in the re-shooting. The film was first released in America in 1930. Goona-Goona was most likely the movie which inspired K'tut Tantri, author of Revolt in Paradise, and later famous as Surabaya Sue, to travel to Bali in 1932: It was a rainy afternoon and, walking down Hollywood Boulevard, I stopped before a small theatre showing a foreign film and on the spur of the moment, decided to go in. The film was entitled Bali, the Last Paradise. I became entranced. The picture was aglow with an agrarian pattern of peace, contentment, beauty and love. Yes, I had found my life. I recognised the place where I wished to be. (K'tut Tantri, Revolt in Paradise, 1960) Although K'tut Tantri mentions that her decision to travel to Bali in 1932 was inspired by a film entitled Bali, the Last Paradise, this must be incorrect. Hickman Powell published a book about Bali with a similar title in 1930, but there was never any film of that name. There was a film entitled Bali, the Lost Paradise, a 12-mm black-and-white film made by Michael Lerner but this was American, not foreign, and was not made until 1939, seven years after K'tut Tantri's arrival in Bali. Der Insel der Dämonen was not released until 1933 and so Goona-Goona was probably the only film of Bali that could have been viewed in America in 1932. |
The film was very successful and actually started an American craze for all things Balinese. In New York high society goona-goona, a Malay and Javanese term for love magic, was turned into a popular phrase. Goona-Goona can be credited with linking sex and magic in the popular image of Bali.

ISLAND of THE DEMONS

INSEL DER DAEMONEN

| INSEL DER DAMONEN, DIE BALI -KLEINOD DER SUDSEE WAJAN BLACK MAGI |
Film ini di sutradarai oleh
Germany 1933
The 'Island of the Gods' has also been called 'The Island of the Demons', most notably in a German film shot in 1931, and later in a Dutch novel of 1948.
| FRIEDRICH DALSHEIM |
The 'Island of the Gods' has also been called 'The Island of the Demons', most notably in a German film shot in 1931, and later in a Dutch novel of 1948.
Probably not released until 1933, Der Insel der Dämonen was also known as The Island of Demons and confusingly, also as Black Magic.
Credits for the film include Producer-Director, Baron Viktor von
Plessen; Camera, Dr Dalsheim; Scenario, casting and choreography, Walter
Spies.
During 1931, Walter Spies' house in Campuhan, Ubud was packed with a crowd of film people. Viktor Baron von Plessen was making the classic Bali-film, Insel der Dämonen with a collaborator, Dr. Dalsheim. Spies's name was the guarantee for a scenario faultlessly faithful to Bali with the right actors and effective choreography. This was the occasion for which Spies remodelled the kecak , the so-called monkey-dance. He increased the number of participants to more than a hundred young men sitting in a circle, and also introduced the figure of the dancer-narrator who recites, in the light of a central standing lamp, tales from the Ramayana involving the exploits of Hanoman, the monkey-general.
The film was a love story about two peasants. Their harmonious village life was destroyed by a Rangda-like witch who created an epidemic which devastated the happy village community. Only exorcistic rituals could stop her and return the village to its normal state. The film runs the full gamut of the images that interested Spies. It starts with beautifully-filmed landscapes featuring water-filled rice terraces reflecting the sky, and scenes of hard-working (but happy) farmers in the fields. Then came the ideal community, disrupted by a bitter woman whose shifty looks betrayed her evil nature, who was eventually revealed in the form of Rangda. Throughout the scenes of witchcraft and exorcism Spies wove documentation of Balinese dances and rituals. This documentation guaranteed the authenticity of the scenes, showing that they were giving an insight into the 'real' Bali behind the superficial tourist images.

Bali in 1940, before the Japanese occupation
A year before the Japanese invasion the island looked peaceful and unspoiled by tourism. Women went still around bare-breasted.
Bali, Indonesia, 1940- A Village Journey
Bali is a mystical Island in Indonesia. A place where the ancient mixes with the modern, and natural beauty is preserved, as well as the unique beliefs of the Balinese. Village life in Bali may of changed since the tourist boom, but here is a brief glimpse into what a Balinese village was like in 1949.
A Bali rural cremation ceremony in 1940
Not the impressive funeral ceremony we use to see in documentaries of this beautiful isle, but one in the country just before WW2. Wish I could tell you more about the deeper meaning of all the phases the ceremony goes through. Few tourists around although I spot two vintage cars at the end.

Bali, Indonesia-1946- Tranquil Scenes of a Local Village-
The timeless rural scenes of Bali, have fascinated generations of people
around the world, on an island were natural beauty, inter-mingles with
the ancient religious belief of the local Balinese.
This short
video shows scenes of a village, including the local market, and
offerings being brought to the temple at a time much of the World was
still at war.
Bali, Indonesia- 1946- Dutch Troops Enter Bali
The actual official surrender of Bali only took place in mid-1946, when a
newly formed Dutch East Indies army had finally arrived on Java, whilst
the embattled British Commonwealth army were slowly leaving.
Java
and Sumatra were at the forefront of a war of independence with
Indonesian nationalists fighting the re-occupation of their lands, so
Bali was effectively under the rule of the defeated Imperial army, long
after their surrender, until one of the European powers arrived.
This was one of the many paradoxes, of the Indonesian Independence War.
ROAD TO HOLLYWOOD
Director: HAL WALKER
George and Harold, American song-and dance-men performing in Melbourne, Australia, have to leave in a hurry to avoid various marriage proposals. They end up in Darwin, where they take jobs as pearl divers for a prince.
Crosby and Hope
They are taken by boat to an idyllic island on the way to Bali, (the location is unclear, but possibly in the Maluku Islands).
They vie with each other for the favours of exotic (and half-Scottish)
Princess Lalah, a cousin of the Prince. The hazardous dive produces a
chest of priceless jewels, which the prince plans to claim as his own.
After escaping from the prince and his henchmen, the three are
shipwrecked and washed up another island. Lalah is now in love with both
of the boys and can't decide which to choose. Following further
romantic complications, the boys participate in a traditional marriage
ceremony, both thinking they're marrying Lalah. In fact, she's being
unwillingly married to the already much-married King.
Harold conjures up Jane Russell
from a basket by playing a flute and thinks that he's going to get her.
But she chooses otherwise and George walks off with both Jane and Lala.
Harold is left alone on the beach, demanding that the film shouldn't
finish and asking the audience to stick around to see what's going to
happen.
Road to Bali was the first "Road to..." picture since 1947's Road to Rio, and was known during production as The Road to Hollywood.
It was the sixth film in the series, and the next to last to be made,
as well as the last "Road" film to star Dorothy Lamour. The film was a
co-production of Bing Crosby Enterprises, Hope Enterprises and
Paramount.[1]
The giant squid that threatens Bob Hope in an underwater scene was previously seen attacking Ray Milland in the Paramount production Reap the Wild Wind directed by Cecil B. DeMille and the erupting volcano climax was taken directly from the Paramount production Aloma of the South Seas (1941) also starring Lamour.

INCONTRO D'AMORE A BALI
AVVENTURA A BALI
1970
I made this tribute to Lotring on the 30th of August, 2010. [PdR] The
video contains segments of wonderful and unique footage - from a
20-minute documentary published on http://www.youtube.com/user/jackusful
by Jacques (..), whom I contacted - of legendary Balinese musician I
Wayan Lotring (1898-1983) dancing and playing in 1972. I rearranged the
footage a bit and combined it with a segment of Lotring's composition
'Liar Samas', played by himself and his orchestra in 1972. You can find
the complete recording on a marvellous 2cd-album, released by Ocora,
titled 'Hommage a Wayan Lotring', an album I highly recommend, a very
worthwhile buy if you like gamelan music from Bali.
In the 1920's and 1930's Lotring was an absolute sensation on Bali, revolutionising musical form of gamelan pieces on kebyar, pelegongan and gender wayang, and in so doing paving the way for others on Bali to take gamelan into new directions.
I would expect Canadian composer Colin McPhee to have filmed him in the 1930's but haven't seen that footage (only a few photographs of Lotring by McPhee). In his book 'A House in Bali' McPhee meets Lotring and even devotes a chapter to him. A nice read that brings you in the midst of musical history on Bali.

ada data yang menjelaskan sutradara dari film ini. Tetapi data dari
CITWF film ini di produksi oleh BALI FILM Ltd. Mungkin sudah pasti orang
Bali sendiri yang menyutradarai film ini. Dan juga hanya satu film ini
saja yang terproduksi oleh Bali Film Ltd.
Namun ini berdasarkan novel sastrawan terkenal Anak Agung Pandji Tisna
Atau nama samaran A.A Pandji Trisna. Beberapa cerita yang beredar

BALI HAI
The 'Bali Hai' of South Pacific (1958)
The 'Bali Hai' of South Pacific
(1958) had nothing directly to do with Bali, but everything to do with
Bali's image. The island shown as Bali Hai was not in the right ocean,
but the name and the soothing sea-breeze-like notes of the hit song were
thought to be sufficiently close to something resembling "Bali".
Hollywood made Bali the paradise of paradises by combining all the
ideals of the South Seas into one.
In the last ten years this
island has been written about, filmed, photographed, and gushed over to
an extent which would justify nausea. I went there half-unwillingly, for
I expected a complete "bali-hoo", picturesque and faked to a Hollywood
standard; I left there wholly unwillingly, convinced that I had seen the
nearest approach to Utopia that I am ever to see.
In the 1958 film version, Bali Ha'i is portrayed by the real-life island of Tioman in Malaysia. However, the scene[clarification needed] was filmed on the north shore of Kauaʻi and Mount MakanaHanalei Bay. was used as Bali Hai which is still known as Bali Hai today. Tunnel's Beach is often referred to as "Nurses' Beach" and the scene where Bloody Mary sings of Bali Ha'i takes place on

The Procession (Pendet) Bali 1969
An island with 10 000 temples, each of which celebrates it's "birthday" about every 200 days in the Balinese Calendar. All ceremonies are proceeded by the Pendet dance to please the spirits. Here some events I could witness, prior to the onslaught of "Culture Tourism" ..
CHILDREN OF BALI 1969
Never to anger a child is the most important of Bali's "10 Commandments" raising children in Bali. Living in a village for 14 month, and subsequent year long travel working on Guide to Bali in 1969, I was most impressed by the dignity, natural strength, beauty and culture manifested in the children of Bali. The images, like all images of Bali from my archive, were taken in 1968/9 during joint travels with one camera shared by my collaborator and Friend Werner Hahn and me

Here are some edited excerpts.
Balinese gamelan : footage + music of I Wayan Lotring from 1972
In the 1920's and 1930's Lotring was an absolute sensation on Bali, revolutionising musical form of gamelan pieces on kebyar, pelegongan and gender wayang, and in so doing paving the way for others on Bali to take gamelan into new directions.
I would expect Canadian composer Colin McPhee to have filmed him in the 1930's but haven't seen that footage (only a few photographs of Lotring by McPhee). In his book 'A House in Bali' McPhee meets Lotring and even devotes a chapter to him. A nice read that brings you in the midst of musical history on Bali.

A film By: GUIDO ZURLI
George Ardisson stars in this Italian-Indonesian co-production as David
Rank, a bowler-hatted London bank employee who takes the advice of a
Hyde Park Corner speaker and drops out of straight society in favour of
living on the island of Bali. He admires the local culture, enjoys the
native women, and is having a marvelous time until the local police
chief gets tired of his hell-raising ways and threatens to send him
back to Blighty. David falls in with local smuggler Porfirio who
proceeds to blackmail him--even while the randy Englishman is seducing
Porfirio's wife Elaine. There's some fascinating mondo style footage
recording traditional Balinese rites such as bull racing, as well as a
gorgeous Alessandro Alessandroni score that is worth the price of
admission alone, but the knockabout comedy and cheap softcore thrills
otherwise offer minimal entertainment value.
BALI - LOTRING en 1973
Bali : Wayan Lotring fut un des plus grands musiciens balinais du XXè siècle. Il fut entre autres le créateur du Legong Kraton vers 1915 (il avait alors une vingtaine d'années). Le film fut réalisé chez lui à Kuta en 1973, mais au cours du prémontage, la production a décidé d'abandonner le projet. D'où ces rushes très abimés noir et blanc à partir du négatif couleur qui ne reflètent que peu ce que le film fini aurait pu être. Le négatif original est perdu.
Mais telles quelles ce sont les seules images vivantes de ce grand musicien.

Bali: Island of the Gods/1979
Director: PHIL NOYCE
Documentary film, Australia
This film was made as an in-flight program for passengers traveling to Bali on the Australian Qantas Airlines flights.
A touching memoir of Bali from the 1970′s during a time of innocence, before things got complicated on the island of the Gods…
Bali 1979.
The flight from Sydney to Denpasar had gone smoothly enough. Now it
was just a matter of getting through customs and down to the coast where
I’d been promised a room within spitting distance of the beach, three
meals a day and a guide with extensive local knowledge. All free of
charge. Of course there was a catch. Standing nervously over by the
baggage carousel was my Dad. Not far away was my Mum. Next to her, my
kid sister and, somewhere out of sight lurked an older brother.
Bali. 1979. Not every story that starts with those words is a story
of empty surf breaks, glassy barrels and something a little bit to the
left of the law. Sometimes it’s simply a story about a family
holiday. Kuta or Sanur. They were the options back then. We were at
Kuta. Even 30-odd years ago it was a bit of a dive with Europeans,
Japanese and Australians sprawled out along a small stretch of the
beach, all saying ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to a constant stream of locals peddling
woodwork, sarongs or an oil massage that left you gritty with sand. One
main street led back from the beach and there were some crossroads.
Bungalows and low-rise concrete hotels were scattered between lush
gardens. I remember a pub (called The Pub), Poppies restaurant, a disco
or two. And enough shops to keep a teenage girl busy. I soon had
the hippie-chic look sorted: hand-made lace, woven vest, drawstring
pants with dragon print and lace-up leather sandals. For the beach,
there were batik bikinis. I was quite taken by these and at dinner one
night wondered about the possibilities of buying them in bulk for sale
back home. My Dad said I’d have to pay duty at customs; it would end up
costing me more than I’d get for them; I was sure there’d be a way
around it.
Kuta had a nice beach and warm water, but it didn’t take us kids long
to figure out that the real Bali experience was elsewhere – with a
family in a losmen, somewhere north or south of where we were. We got on
our bikes and went hunting, cycling out along a busy pot-holed road to a
place called Legian. From the main road we went down a sandy track to
an unspoiled beach. There was a warung, not much else. We sat for a
while with a couple of surfers who were out of action – one from a
scrape along the reef that had got infected, the other from a nasty burn
which made me less keen to get a motorbike of my own. Further down the
beach, there was a slab of concrete and some bamboo scaffolding.
The first stage of a three-story resort.
Our parents meanwhile had been doing a bit of research of their own
and it wasn’t long before they broke camp and set themselves up in a
Balinese paradise over at Sanur in a villa that had a private garden, a
pool, a fountain and the beginnings of a small exotic zoo. The décor was
all wood, black stone, and traditional fabric with not an artificial
surface in sight. It was quieter over that side, the general flavour
more European with lake-like swimming in the reef-protected bay and
civilised frisbee throwing on the sand. Nice, but kind of boring.
Back in Kuta and free of adult supervision we went our separate ways:
I went shopping, my sister got sunburnt and my brother found out about
magic mushroom omelettes. The place to go was down a back path to a
warung with a sandy floor and a stick-like tree decorated with broken
egg shells. ‘It’s an egg-tree,’ the 12 year-old who served our omelettes
told us, before she sat back to watch us ‘go funny’. I don’t remember
what we’d done with our little sister (something responsible I hope),
but I had a pretty nice afternoon wandering around, watching the people
and the colours in the soft afternoon light of the monsoon season,
getting my picture taken with a bunch of Japanese tourists who had gone
swimming in their underwear and sitting on the sand watching
friendly hallucinatory spiders crawl all over my legs. At some point, I
bought a lot of batik bikinis.
When our parents returned we set off to see a bit more of the island,
driving around in an old Cadillac-turned-taxi and joining up with one
of those culture-slash-shopping-slash-culinary ventures designed to give
tourists a taste of the real Bali. We went to Tanah Lot and saw the
temple and then up to Ubud. There were visits to workshops of local
artists, a spectacular festival ceremony, a chook fight (men only),
incredible food, breathtakingly lush country-side and people more lovely
than you could imagine.
I was in Bali in 1979 and I didn’t surf. So I can’t tell you about
scoping missions in search of stand-up barrels or epic sessions on
virgin waves with just me and a mate. All I can tell you is the
fragments of memories of a 16-year-old girl on her last family holiday.
Of how a ladder went through the fuselage just before take off and how a
plane-load of hot, sweaty tourists spent the night grounded on
the tarmac without water, food or air conditioning. Of how there were
bad moods all round by the time we finally made it back to Sydney. And
how, as we headed towards customs, I was thinking about my stash of 100
bikinis and how maybe I should have listened to my father after all.

LEMPAD OF BALI / 1980
Documentary film by
| LORNE BLAIR JOHN DARLING |
U can watching here: http://www.ovguide.com/movies_tv/lempad_of_bali.htm#
Visiting a 116 year old man
Lawrence and Lorne Blair visit the then 116 year old artist I Gusti
Nyoman Lempad from Bali. The artist then proceeds to die a conscious
death on the day of his choosing. This footage comes from The Ring of
Fire series
A re-release of an acclaimed documentary classic by John Darling - A
film about the life and death of the 116-year-old Balinese
Master-Artist.
In April 1978, in a village situated in the fertile central hills of Bali, the island's greatest living artist died at the age of 116. Lempad's longevity was cause enough for wonder, but the magnificent body of art and architecture that he left behind is a greater tribute to an unusual man. He lived his creative life through the most traumatic century of Balinese history.
In April 1978, in a village situated in the fertile central hills of Bali, the island's greatest living artist died at the age of 116. Lempad's longevity was cause enough for wonder, but the magnificent body of art and architecture that he left behind is a greater tribute to an unusual man. He lived his creative life through the most traumatic century of Balinese history.
LEMPAD OF BALI tells the story of this remarkable person against
the background of the island's changing fortunes over the past one
hundred years. It begins by showing him just before his death and then
follows the elaborate preparations for his cremation and the consequent
release by fire of his spirit into the next world. A wide selection of
Lempad's work is shown including the drawings, paintings, sculpture and
architecture which have enriched the cultural life of Bali. As a
counterpoint to the art, the story of the island itself is given through
the use of archive film and photographs, including the several waves of
invasions that it has experienced, occupation by the Dutch and the
Japanese and, in more recent times, by international tourists.
The production of this DVD has been made possible by the generosity of the Australia -Indonesia Institute.
This DVD has both an English and a Bahasa Indonesia soundtrack.
