10 min., b&w, no synch sound, but voice-over commentary in English by Margaret Mead
Source: ?
This is the only one of the seven films that Gregory Bateson and Margaret Mead made in Bali and New Guinea in 1936-39 that does not form part of the Character Formation in Different Cultures series. Though shot at the same time, it was released some 25 years later, and had a different editor. Whereas the other films were intensively focused on parent-child relationships, this film is mostly concerned with instruction given by professional dancers, notably by the then-celebrated dancer, Mario.
