A catholic funeral in the village of Lapaha in Tongatapu, Tonga. It's a lengthy event that involves many people. As always in Tonga, no large event without a brass band.
This film about the rituals that surround the transition from the known territory (life) to the unknown territory (death) is without narrator or any other explanation. It is simple documentation.
Intention, camera and editing:
Smike Käszner
Music: "Cherry Blossom"
excerpt from "The Blind Tape Third Ape Abjection Session" composed by Jan Krogsgaard.
Huge thanks to the people of Lapaha village
Thanks to Sakopo (Television Tonga) and Lars Kristensen (Royal Danish academy of fine arts) for long distance advice.
