Ifugaos. Sculpteurs de montagnes
Ifugaos. Mountain sculptors
Nadine Antoine, Patrick Bellorini / France / 2005 / 25 min / Colour
In the heart of the mountains of the Philipines we find the famous Banané terraces for rice cultivation. Due to their spectacular beauty they have been called the "eighth wonder of the world". This landscape was created more than 2000 years ago by the Ifugaos, an ancient population of headhunters. The film recounts the windy trip to Banané, a destination even Spanish missionaries and mass tourism never reached. What results is a realistic account of the miserable conditions - hay huts built along- side the water terraces - in which the villagers live.
