The Red bowmen

Every year, a ritual known as ida is performed by the Umeda people, who inhabit the dense primary forest of the Waina-Sawanda district of West Sepik, Papua New Guinea. Ida, the central social and cultural drama of the Umeda, is a fertility ritual, in which a dominant theme is the metamorphosis of the cassowaries.

"In a remote part of the West Sepik Province of Papua New Guinea, the Umeda people eke out a difficult living from the sago swamps and primary rain forest that surround them. Until recently, these people performed an annual ceremony, the Ida, which dramatised their relationship to the forest and celebrated their continuing survival. The ceremony was the major social occasion of their year in essence a fertility ritual focussing on a complex metamorphosis of figures representing cassowaries. This film is a record of the Ida ceremony, and an analysis of it, seen through the eyes of anthropologist Alfred Gell."
"Chaque année, un rituel connu sous le nom de "ida" est perpétué par les Umeda, qui habitent la forêt primaire de la Waina-Sawanda, dans le district de West Sepik, en Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée. Ida, drame social et culturel de la culture Umeda, est un rituel de fécondité, dans lequelle le thème dominant est la métamorphose du casoar. "La métamorphose du casoar" de l'anthropologue Alfred Gell complète le film."
