■ Childhood Rivalry in Bali and New Guinea by Gregory Bateson and Margaret Mead 1953 17min.This film consists of a series of scenes in which children of the same age in different cultures, in Bali and in New Guinea, respond to the fact that their mother gives her attention to another child. The Film compares material from Bali and New Guinea. The Balinese mother reproach her child for its jealousy , while the mother from Iatmul tries at all cost to prevent her child from becoming jealous. Margaret Mead and Gregory Bateson are pioneers in using film and photography in social anthropological studies. During their field work on Bali and New Guinea 1936-38 they demonstrated what photography and film can supply during collection of data. It is not a question of simply taking picturess to assist memory, but systematic picture making for later analysis. 25 000 stills and 22 000 feet of film, depicting different stages in the socializing processes of children, constitute the material which they finally can take home from the field. The Balinese mother handles sibling rivalry by theatrical teasing of her own child through conspicuous attention to other babies. The Iatmul mother in New Guinea, even when nursing a newborn enfant, makes every effort to keep her child from feeling jealous. The intention of the filmmakers was to decipher from these systematically photographed behaviour patterns forms of learning that non-verbally revealed cultural patterns.

■Uncle Poison By Ricardo Leizaola color, 60 min, 1999 A healer on healing, medicine & religion...Filmed in the modern city of Caracas, capitol of Venezuela, Uncle Poison is an intimate portrait of a traditional faith healer, set against the backdrop of his community's Easter celebrations. Every day Benito Reyes receives people at his house looking for all sorts of cures. Through his own testimony this documentary looks at the healer's role as mediator between the social, natural and spiritual worlds. Curing someone or harvesting medicinal leaves, he must first seek permission from the plants he uses and from a variety of Saints. And Like some plants and spirits, Benito has the power to extract the sickness and spells from his patients. A conjunction of sacred and profane, celebrating and mourning, Easter provides a rare opportunity to look at traditional faith healing in a wider social and religious context. The film suggests an underlying cultural rationale behind a broad spectrum of apparently contradictory health related practices, where man and the environme nt are inextricably linked.
