Experiencing Interruptions?

All Living Being

In Bali, 1940, Sadya (35), an adept sudra (lowest-caste) hunter feels anxious about Putri (22), his triwangsa (higher-caste) pregnant wife who abruptly behaves like wild animals. Sadya then asks his shaman sister Mbok Ayu (40) to cure Putri. Following a prior ritual, it is known that Putri has been possessed by animal spirits and can only be cured by confronting the vengeful jungle spirit who sent the curse. The jungle spirit was loathed by Sadya’s avarice that caused the extinction of balinese tigers. After a colliding convergence with the jungle spirit, Satya is then cornered and obliged to bargain. The jungle spirit agrees, with an exceptionally taxing price.

Director Statement

The idea for the film is taken from Bali in 1940, after I watched several films and read news articles. I was fed up with the fact that human still hunt excessively even after several extinctions, just to collect the skins and body parts. Through this film I intend to explore how the human greed affects nature by using historical and cultural approach of Balinese mysticism that always fascinated me.
