Kahyangan: The Balinese Journey of the Soul (2010) film screening

Medical Anthropology and Film and Discussion Group

Tuesday 9 February 2021   15:30 to 17:00

Location:

Virtual Event

The GTC Medical Anthropology Film and Discussion Group explores the extent to which film can complement, enrich and further the study of medical anthropology themes, topics and methods. After watching selected clips, we discuss a film’s content and approach, and interrogate its capacity to support the analysis of issues relating to illness, crisis, health and wellbeing.

This term’s focus is the theme of ‘death and dying’.

In this meeting, the group will discuss Linda Burman-Hall and Eli Hollander’s 2010 film Kahyangan: The Balinese Journey of the Soul. This documentary depicts the Balinese death rituals that support and protect the soul’s journey in its endless cycle of life, death and rebirth.

The screening will last 30 minutes followed by discussion.
