The Water of Words: A Cultural Ecology of an Eastern Indonesian Island
This film examines the ecology and poetry of everyday life. Two Rotinese narrate this film, each offering his perception of the importance of the Lontar (Borassus) palm: a clan leader describes the many practical uses of the palm; a poet tells of its origin and mythic significance. The film complements Fox’s book, The Harvest of the Palm, as well as his essays on ritual language.
Directors: James J. Fox, Patsy Asch, Timothy Asch
