Voici une autre de mes toutes premières vidéos, prise le 5 août 2007.












Rainbow In The Jet D'Eau - Funny blooper videos are here

Voilà que je me suis lancée dans la production de vidéos! J'ai pris celle-ci sur l'Île Rousseau le 5 août 2007, et j'ai la permission de Dario et de ses musiciens de mettre la vidéo sur la toile. Comme c'est la première fois que je manie un caméscope, je fais plein d'erreurs, j'éspère vous ne m'en tiendrez point gré.

"Part of a long and honorable Hollywood tradition of college-set films where the men are all athletes, the women are all working on their MRS degree and students (who seem to all be in their mid-20's) do almost anything but attend classes. Interesting mostly for the chance to see several names very early in their career. Film in public domain and available for download at archive.org"

"The Nuer call themselves Naath. Only their immediate neighbors, the Dinka, Shilluk and Arabs, call them Nuer. The people of Ciengach, where the film was made, are the Eastern Jikany, one of about a sixteen district tribes of Nuer. However, those who still called themselves Naath did so with an extraordinarily vivid image of themselves as superior people living a superior life. Furthermore, it was impossible not to see that their lives were inextricably tied to their herds. Ciengach is a perfected plan for co-posperity of cows and humans. Nuer existence has, consistent with life led on a flood plain, an almost tidal rhythm due largely to the movement of cattle into and out of the villages. At almost precisely 10:30 in the morning cows and bulls began to groan, stand up and in other ways indicate that the time had come for them to be released and on their way to graze. Within moments the entire herd was sounding a unified complaint. Men and boys then slipped the tethers from their necks and the flow of cattle began. Five more minutes and the village was virtually silent. The herd had receded toward the river and to whatever grass the younger men could find. So the days passed into twilights of returning herds and men and the nights were filled with stars and an almost intoxicating 'bucolia.'"

""Charlie works on a farm from 4am to late at night. He gets his food on the run. He loves the neighbor's daughter Edna but is disliked by her father. He rides a cow into a stream and is kicked off.

"In Egypt, a birth ritual called el-sebou', meaning "the seventh", happens on the seventh day following the physical birth of a child of either sex and is celebrated by Coptic and Muslim families of all status groups, rural and urban. Characteristic of this ritual is the gender-linked imagery also manifest in the ritual clay pot. The ceremony celebrates the newborn's crossing a threshold from a neutral gender and status into a world of gender differentiation and family hierarchy. This particular sebou' is celebrated for twins, a boy and a girl, in a rising middle class Muslim family in urban Egypt. Anthropologist Fadwa El Guindi portrays the sebou' ritual as a rite of passage with the universal three phases of transition (separation, liminality, incorporation) and as the key ceremony in an individual's life cycle until marriage. Focusing on – and showing the proveniences of – the variety of objects and materials, the film’s perspective highlights the central role of the female ritual leader and provides a kinesthetic spatial sense of the ceremony. The editing combines both an analytic and an emic approach, allowing the participants to speak for themselves without losing a broader anthropological perspective."
